So, treating enough people to prevent one heart attack costs $500,000 per year. Since about 70% of the heart attacks were not fatal, prevention of a single death from heart attack would cost even more, approximately $1,700,000. Giving the benefit of the doubt, we may allow for a similar reduction in stroke and say that "only" $250,000 is needed to protect one person from a stroke or heart attack. It is hardly surprising that Astra Zeneca's share price increased by $1.

They claimed there is a strong link between high fat intake and death from heart disease/stroke. They even listed the countries, but an independant study done by europe found the results to be false. They were the opposite. In fact, countries with higher cholesterol levels had far fewer heart problems. In Japan, their cholesterol rose by 20% between 1958 and 1999 due to diet change. They used to have the highest rates of deaths from strokes.
If you have a history of heart attacks in your family and anyone under the age of 50 has had one it means that you are simply in a higher risk group.
