in this day and age everyone's been pretty well-warned as to the dangers of LDL and cholesterol deposits in arteries at what not. once again ironic that something necessary for survival (manufacture of hormones, cell membranes, vitamin metabolism) we either accumulate too much of, are unable to process effectively, or hoard in ways that hinder other areas of life.
the starkness of this irony in materialistic pursuits, emotional pursuits, achievement pursuits is too obvious: too much of a good thing - up to and not including workaholism, dotage, affluence, obsession et al. it's a fifty-fifty chance of not dying from a heart attack or stroke, fifty-fifty all these pursuits will bring us happiness and contentment.
this has made us soft on the outside, and hard on the inside.
