So...you trade diabetes 2 for high levels of chorlesterol...and die of a heart attack or stroke instead.

Despite the massive hype on this, there is no link between high cholesterol and heart disease. Cholesterol is merely a proxy indicator of health, not an actual indicator, which has been hyped up so that you will buy Statin drugs.

So yeah, go and eat red meat and eggs. They're good for you.

Glad to see more and more people stating these facts. Maybe there’s hope for the health of the American people after all.

Exactly! Cholesterol is a hyped up industry and a lot of people have been put through hell and expense to meet relatively meaningless numbers. Also cholesterol is necessary for an efficient immune system. If you force cholesterol down, you run the risk if having cancer rates go up. It’s all been a big lie.

If you’re going to eat all that, and more, also make sure that you get an equally generous, if not greater, share of a primary component of the good, old-fashioned lifestyle: Hard, physical work.

More “indications,” “clues,” and a “bigger party.” Money is in long term treatment, not a cure.

mmmmmmmmmmm diced sirloin steak omelet with sauteed onions and a hot cup of fresh medium roast coffee!

Eat right, exercise, die anyway.

???

High chorlesterol over time will clog arteries. Are you saying that's not true?

Do you realize the earth is not flat? :^)
