13 The definition of what is a cholesterol value too high should be met with skepticism because it was drafted by doctors with ties to the pharmaceutical industry. The threshold value for cholesterol was many times lowered in the Western countries, so that the majority of Americans and Europeans now have cholesterol values that are supposedly too high, including normal-weight people who exercise.
