Did you try Google?
The only reference in the article to the quote I was mocking is this sentence:
In one study, the cholesterol levels of subjects who were not receiving treatment were an average of 7.4 mg/dL higher in December than in June.
Paste that quote in Google and do a search, and the #1 link is my post on FUD.
So there ya go, NickM. Thanks for your help in making it happen.

Here it is, from 1987: a study performed in hyperlipidemic men. Quoting from the abstract: “A highly significant (X2 = 706, 2 degrees of freedom) seasonal effect, 7.4 mg/dl higher on December 30 than on June 30, was found.”
Usually the onus is on the person making the claim, not the one making fun of it.

I wonder if there is also research that shows that cholesterol in the US is higher on Nov 23, and wondering why…

Well, the quote in the article would tell us…
The reasons for this are still unknown.
I am planning on doing my own research tomorrow.
