the first link agrees with what I said (mostly) and the second one is a link I dont find trustworthy.... there are also ppl who claim on similar pages (second-opinions) that high cholesterol isnt bad either. Ive seen reports of the hunter-ppl cholesterols being even lower than 124 on average... while absolute truths are hard to find and I also admit that there is a lot of room for debate, my opinion is still that total chol of about 90 aint nothing to worry about in a normal healthy man.
quote from the first link:
In view of the frequently reported association between low serum cholesterol and cancer, some physicians might be reluctant to recommend a substantial reduction in dietary fat. Their worries, however, are clearly unjustified, because no enhanced cancer mortality is seen in populations with low cholesterol levels.2 3 4 5 It is evident, therefore, that catabolic diseases cause low cholesterol levels instead of the reverse. On the other hand, it is conceptually untenable that humans can be killed by the same low-fat nutritional environment that both molded their lipid metabolism and kept their cholesterol levels physiologically low for millions of years.2 3 4 5
