Running interference

"Antioxidants, whose ability to improve cardiac health has been subject to skepticism, actually interfered with cholesterol-lowering drugs," report scientists from the University of Washington. This type of study only adds confusion to the role of antioxidants.

Just because antioxidants raise (or lower) cholesterol tells you nothing of significance, EXCEPT that the antioxidants may do a good thing by interfering with the action of the highly questionable anti-cholesterol drugs.
The cholesterol-lowering drugs have potentially serious side effects and have no proven role in preventing cardiovascular disease, except in the minds of cardiologists who have been seduced by drug company propaganda and questionable lipid research that is profit-driven rather than science-driven.
