Writing in Circulation Research, researchers show they have developed a “genome-editing” approach for permanently reducing cholesterol levels in mice through a single injection, a development that could reduce the risk of heart attacks in humans by 40 to 90 percent.
The fixation on cholesterol to the exclusion of other factors borders upon insanity. I have a friend with natural extremely low cholesterol readings all his life. He had blockages and needed stents. The 90% figure is media hype. If you look at the article, there is a breezy conversational suggestion of 40 to 90 percent effectiveness. That is not science, that is conversation.
No matter how long I live I can't wake up and say I have done it I have lived forever. That is why its a theoretical goal.
