Prize Frize of Palm Springs, Calif., last week began selling an automated dispenser of fresh-cooked French fries.

Just as oil and water cannot mix without a detergent, cholesterol cannot enter the bloodstream unless it is ferried within a complex of molecules called low-density lipoprotein, or LDL. The Texas researchers found that the LDL ferries travel to docks called LDL receptors. More important, they learned that low cholesterol levels in the liver trigger the production of more receptors, which pull LDL out of the blood. But if the liver does not make enough receptors, the LDL levels in the blood will rise...
