At least some of the objections seem to be that low cholesterol is a common side effect of being very ill, and that lifelong low cholesterol is healthy.
This sounds as though an unexplained drop in cholesterol should be used as an indicator that a person is in trouble, just as an unexplained drop in weight should be, and also that longitudinal studies of individual health and cholesterol should be done.
