With all due respect, this article about cholesterol contains a lot of errors repeating misinformation handed down from the federal government for the past 30 or more years. (1) Cholesterol in food has no relationship to cholesterol in blood – they are two completely different things. As an example, eating eggs every day – a food containing cholesterol – does not elevate blood levels. (2) Natural saturated fat in food like beef only promotes an increase in protective HDL cholesterol. (3) Excess sugar – not natural fat – is converted by the body into cholesterol. The writer David Brown is right – it’s time to reverse the Anti-Saturated fat campaign.

In nearly 35 years of researching the saturated fat controversy I have never found evidence that there is evidence that saturated fats cause arteries to clog. The research indicates that saturated fats are benign over a wide range of intakes as long as they are consumed in the context of adequate supportive nutrition. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-05/bu-dcd051811.php In fact, any effects saturated fats may have on cholesterol should be regarded as physiological, not pathological, and likely beneficial. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-05/tau-cn050511.php

It’s time to reverse the Anti-saturated fat Campaign. http://www.foodandbeveragepeople.com/cm/news/saturated_fats and publicize the omega-6 hazard http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry/201103/your-brain-omega-3

Peace and thanks. I want to share that you don’t have to be overweight to have high cholesterol. At 18, I had super high cholesterol and I was only 98 lbs.
