Have you watched the Catalyst program on cholesterol yet Daniel?
Just finally caught up with the program and from what I can make of it we have been sold a box of myths. Starting from the 1950's.
I agree in part Sven, that a brisk walk is very beneficial, however, not everyone can take said walk ever day of the year. What do you do in Sweden's winter to replace this exercise? I do lean towards the study (I think it has been posted above) that "discovered" people who are just active, gardening, walking to a friends house or the market for food, actually having to make their meals from scratch (try making your bread by hand-awesome upper body work out!), eating in moderation (to 80% full) and just enjoying life laughter and friends is a remarkable recipe for a healthy life. The longevity issue is down to your genetic make-up (barring wars, injury, and famine)
