Sharon's medical records show normal cholesterol

Ariel Sharon, who suffered a mild stroke less than a week ago, has cholesterol and blood pressure levels that are astonishingly normal for a man of his weight and age, his doctor said today after an Israeli newspaper revealed some of his medical records for the first time.

Sharon’s love of fatty foods apparently hasn’t thrown off his most important health statistics. Tests taken three weeks before Sharon’s stroke showed his blood pressure at 120 over 80, and his overall cholesterol level at 195 – both completely normal.
