The medical industry has been wrong about fat and it's effect on cholesterol for years. I just had a doctor tell me recently that he thinks diet has less to do with your cholesterol than previously thought. It's going to take a while, but I think the rest of the world will get the memo that fat is not the enemy. But still, all things in moderation.

How do we explain my high cholesterol, although I eat lots of vegetables and I'm in good shape? I think my number is my number. If I had a choice between being the 300 lb guy with good cholesterol numbers, and a fit guy with "high" numbers -- I'll choose to be the fit guy.
