...cholesterol issue has been complicated in the past decade by new discoveries about the fatty proteins that carry cholesterol in the blood: high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).

Research is under way to determine whether coronary disease can be fought more effectively by manipulating the levels...

Other factors may be at work; marathoners tend to be relaxed, eat healthful foods, not smoke and stay thin...
