Maybe. But whether you agree with the conventional wisdom regarding
"high" cholesterol levels, etc., being largely responsible for heart
attacks, or not, diet and nutrition almost certainly play key roles,
along with lifestyle factors and genetics. On the other hand, even
your genetics (based on the diet and nutrition of your parents) can be
affected by lifestyle and nutrition. See: epigenetics.

One thing we do know is: A low-cholesterol vegetarian diet didn't
prevent him from having a heart attack.
