Bypassing the blogspam:

Press release from Simon Fraser University: http://www.sfu.ca/pamr/media-releases/2012/study-finds-cance...

Paper in the Journal of Biological Chemistry (paywalled): http://www.jbc.org/content/287/14/11481.full?sid=76cffabf-8c...

A useful rule of thumb is that whenever you see anything on sciencedaily.com or physorg.com, unless it's absolute nonsense there's another more direct (and often more informative) source you should link to instead.

Those sources don't have RSS feeds, and ScienceDaily and PhysOrg have a bad habit of not linking to such things.

I wonder if there are any studies looking at cancer incidence in people with high cholesterol.
