Vitamins C, E and other so-called antioxidants have
long been touted as a good, cheap protection from
heart disease.

But new research suggests that popping the popular
supplements may actually be doing more harm than
good by boosting the body's production of bad
cholesterol...

Ok, so here's a hypothetical question. Supposing that a lump of
fat from a can of baked beans came alive, achieved consciousness
and a set of moral standards. If it ever encountered a moral
dilemma would an LDL "bad" cholesterol appear on one of its
shoulders and an HDL "good" cholesterol on its other shoulder?
And which would win the debate (most often)?

Just hypothetically.
