Heart disease rarely occurs in people with total cholesterol levels ( TCL) below 150. the standard tests have found that people with the lowest death rates had a TCL of 122.

A TCL of 122 sounds very low, but in nature it is the rule. by every line of evidence,

having a TCL below 130 or certainly below 150 is ideal for avoiding heart disease.
