"Anyone on the Atkin's diet should watch their cholestral. It isn't just fat that kills."

People on the Atkins diet will normally experience a drop in serum cholesterol levels. Fat does not kill, unless you're eating the trans (hydrogenated) fats that have been strongly associated with heart disease. Omega -3 and -6 fats, found in olive oil, fish oil, and flax oil, are beneficial, and our bodies need them to produce the proteins that keep our brains functioning.

People shouldn't eat processed sugar and trans fats. Our bodies just aren't equipped to handle a steady diet of this stuff.

I found out about the trans fat a little too late.
