What he is saying is that unless you have inflammation of the arteries, you're not going to have heart disease. Obviously if you have inflammation, high cholesterol will increase your likelihood over someone with lower cholesterol.

What he is basically saying is if you change your diet so that you aren't damaging your arteries you will lower your risk of heart disease better than trying to reduce your cholesterol.

Eso. Go paleo and you will be fine. I always use lard instead of Crisco. Use what nature gave us.

And stop following salt recommendations (unless you are salt sensitive). Eating low in salt will make you overeat (our bodies will perfectly regulate our body salt, regardless of how much you consume), because most of us need a lot more than what they are recommending. If you don't eat enough, your body will send signals to eat more to get to the correct salt levels.
