Summary
COI synopsis: Cholesterol has for some time been known as the substance which furs up the lining of arteries, leading to coronary thrombosis. But only recently has it been shown that cholesterol is released into the blood stream as a reaction to nervous stresses, and not as a result of diet. Overworked executives, bad heart-attack risks, are given a special course of exercises to burn up the surplus cholesterol and reduce the possibility of thrombosis occurring.
