> If one person with high cholesterol does not get heart disease then cholesterol is not the problem. Fact. Logic. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. If one person doesn't die from cancer than cancer is not the problem. Fact. Logic. Not sure if this is your first day on Earth or what, but YES, there's variances in outcomes. Welcome to Earth and being a human. My grandfather smoked for 70 years and died peacefully. And what?

  > The body does not need cancer, but it does need LDL to transport fats around the body. Of course the body needs cancer. Cancer is your own bodies cells. They're essential for you being alive. And, cells with damaged DNA train and hone your immune system. You have millions of cancer cells in your body right now. Your immune system is killing them as we speak. If a few happen to slip through, then that's we would say you have cancer. Why might they slip through? Your immune system makes mistakes. Because everything makes mistakes. > What was it that he did that proved him immune to the ravages of smoking? Um, nothing? Is this your first day on Earth? Life is not an algorithm. Everything is risk, everything is probability. Smoking increases your risk. It doesn't give you anything. Your HIV and AIDS argument is just fucking stupid. Sorry to be blunt. Yes, SOME things are A -> B. That is an extremely rare exception to the rule. Extremely. That almost never happens. Like, if I drive fast, I might die. Might. Its not a garuantee. I can drive 150 every day and live, or drive 10 and die immediately. That's life. Welcome to risk and probability. That's just how things work. Having LDL and no heart disease doesn't prove anything to anyone. That doesn't prove LDL doesn't cause heart disease.
