It would’ve been helpful if the writer had identified a few of the more popular dietary sources of MG.

Exactly. So I’ll know what to quit eating THIS week.

It appears to be in Manuka honey, a health food.
But here's a dilemma, high levels of GM also appear to fight cancer.

However it is noted in the Wiki for Manuka honey that the methylglyoxal can be neutralized, while like some other honeys, it retains its antibacterial properties.
That is, several raw honeys have been found to almost randomly have profound antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, so much so that for example, it would be the “ideal toothpaste” against gum disease. Pasteurization destroys the effect, however.
But this particular honey, mostly found in New Zealand, also contains this methylglyoxal, and its profoundly bad side effects.

“Low levels of HDL, High Density Lipoprotein, are closely linked to heart disease”
Actually, the cholesterol theory of heart disease is nearly dead.

I've learned some important stuff since being diagnosed as Type II two years ago:
1. Many of the foods that raise the good cholesterol levels also raise my blood glucose level.
2. My doctor has moderated his views on bread. First, it was no bread whatsoever, now whole wheat is ok. I opt for the 21 grain bread sold at Sprouts.
3. If one thing doesn't get me, another will. Accordingly, I monitor what I eat, exercise regularly, and enjoy each day as much as I can.
4. I also resolve not to drink a bottle (plus) of wine the day before I go in for my blood work. I did that two months ago, and came up anemic...and I've never been anemic. lol Was the wine good? Absolutely!

Agree. Interesting article, nevertheless.

Assumptions built upon assumptions isn’t that the same scientific assumptions bandied about as fact by the warmers?
I have come to the realization that if you instantly believe any “study” that makes the MSM, you might be a redneck.

I wish (long story, why I wish). It's "always" been "nearly dead", and
yet (written in 2011)....
Pfizers Lipitor was the worlds top-selling medicine last year, according to IMS, raking in sales of $13.3billion. AstraZenecas Crestor, which garnered $5.38billion in sales during 2009, is one of the companys best selling medicines.
Total sales last year of cholesterol-treating medicines - including statins - were $35billion, according to IMS.
...and it would have been except for the fluke that an essential amino acid, methionine, hadn't been isolated when a young MD, PhD, researcher at Mass. General Hospital,
Kilmer McCully, started investigating causes of arteriosclerosis:

I think the cholesterol panic is just a bunch if hooey they in e ted to sell expensive drugs
You need a certain amount of it-hell maybe some people need more than others because everyone is different
I believe in some people it won’t go down to an ideal level no matter what they do because their bodies are genetically wired to produce more

These two statements aren't in conflict. Yes, total cholesterol levels or consumption are not linked to heart disease. That's been known for a very long time, regardless of what people have been told.
But low levels of HDL is in fact a strong predictor of heart disease, as is high levels of triglycerides.

"1. Many of the foods that raise the good cholesterol levels also raise my blood glucose level." Like what foods? I don't believe this is generally the case.

Yep, however the ratio of HDL and Triglycerides has been found to be a good predictor.
There are currently no drugs that can reverse low levels of HDL
This is not true. Niaspan ER (Niacin) is well known to raise HDL levels.

I never said that. You must have me confused with another poster.
