I can testify that oatmeal IS a reducer of cholesterol-my numbers were pretty high in spite of the statin my doc had me on. After over a year of me eating oatmeal every morning (my cold cereal is goin stale) my last lab workup in January had the numbers in the artificial range docs like to see. Well, I told my doc it happened because of the oatmeal and he replied "it was the drug" (anectdotal testimony is NOT MD based :(.) and I requested that the prescription be withdrawn. He repeated his "belief" and since the statin was Pfizer poison, I knew I could do better with red rice yeast that the doctor claimed wasn't uniform in dosages. This summer will be the proof in the puddin when lab results come out. In the meantime, I am enjoying my variation: after the oatmeal is cooked, I add 2 eggs and poach them for 1 minue 32 seconds in the microwave. 😊
Plaques are caused by inflammation, which can be caused by sugar, syrup, refined carbohydrates, "vegetable" (seed) oils and other junk. The fact that cholesterol is involved in the repair is incidental.
Reducing cholesterol to prevent atherosclerosis is a bit like banning band aids to reduce the number of grazes when you fall!
Statistically, people with higher levels of cholesterol live longer. Cholesterol is essential in making vitamin D with sunlight.

But why would you lower your cholesterol? Remember, they lie and they want us dead.
Well, aren't there certain types of plaques that are bad? I forget what I read.
