Not true.
I can attest to this as I struggle with my Aristocrat every day to keep the humidity down(living at sea level). I have to keep the temp above 70F to keep the humidity below 70%. Lowering the temp in the cabinet raises the humidity.

Perhaps in an evaporative system (refrigerator) if you lower the temp the humidity might drop?

If anyone else is having this problem, please let me know what you are doing.

Thanks
