Are cholesterol levels relative to diet a direct biomarker of cognitive performance?

Crap, should have said “ability” not performance.

Wow, this is tough to research, as anti-cholesterol medications are pretty heavily prescribed. My experience is that pharma companies tend to flood the research pool with ambiguous work to protect/promote their cash cows.

Yeah, I’m interested in the relationship between LDL and HDL with regard to cognitive ability, particularly in healthy/young individuals. Need to figure out another way to ask this question.
