Dubious statements
The summary of the AHA's "recommendations" is misleading. They advocate limits on dietary cholesterol and saturated fat, not a diet "high in carbohydrates" (unless perhaps you have a source somewhere?) Also, the summary of their position on lipid-lowering therapy is completely misleading. I've tagged it to request sources - if none are forthcoming, I'll remove it. The AHA's recommendations can of course be summarized if properly sourced. MastCell Talk 02:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Controversy
I restored the section on "Controversy" and included (as MastCell recommended) both statements of statin benefit as well as the negative. There are nine sources referenced. The thrust of the section, however, starts with criticism of the AHA for their apparent stand against supplements for many years, but does include the fact that they favor statins, which must be avoided by many people (e.g. those who have severe kidney problems, have liver disease, are pregnant or have given birth recently, are breastfeeding, or simply want to avoid statin side effects of kidney disease and pancreatitis).

First, I'd like to see a citation to where the AHA actually "pushes" statins (i.e. recommends them more aggressively than other major medical organizations). My take, from their website, is that they recommend being aware of cholesterol as one of many risk factors and dealing with it in a variety of ways, including diet, exercise, and statins if necessary . Also I'd like to see where they "suppress" vitamins. These are not major positions of the AHA, and I'd prefer that this article not be diverted to become a platform for pushing the fringe views of the Life Extension Foundation or other minoritarian anti-statin, pro-supplement organizations.

Quick comment from an anonymous surfer who happened upon this Wiki article on the AHA: I see that "Newstarget" is referenced and externally linked. Follow the link and read the commentary. The person who wrote the commentary uses himself as a "one data-point study" to support his point of view. This is considered a credible argument?
Dr. Timothy Gardner
I would like to suggest this page on Dr. Timothy Gardner, which includes his biography, as a potential source for additional development of this stub or as a starting point for an entry on Dr. Gardner: From the Heart with Timothy J. Gardner, M.D. Shhoffman (talk) 20:06, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Image of logo
The AHA website includes a page containing information about copyrighted content usage requests. As for the use of their logo, their policy unfortunately states the following:
Considering that Wikipedia is a non-profit organization, I find it very unlikely that any such negotiations will ever occur. Therefore the (defunct) image of the AHA logo, "Image:Aha logo.gif", should not be re-uploaded.Fuzzform (talk) 06:
