For most Americans, their "abs" have long ago made the transition from a "six-pack" to an entire case...
But what about high cholesterol...? Cholesterol is used in cell building. It's essential to the working and repair of the body.
Is cholesterol just the "fireman at the scene of the fire," and not the "cause" of heart disease.....? Could heart disease be some kind of auto-immune response. Some disease of the coronary artery wall....unrelated to diet?
Could high blood limpids actually be "good" for protecting the body?
Remember, Medicine has a nasty habit of abandoning long held beliefs and protocols, just when everyone starts to beleive they are true.
History is filled with examples of this...like "bleeding" and "mercury cures" and lobatomies to name just a few.
Perhaps, moderation and good genes are really the key to health...but that doesn't sell diet books. And who wants to live to be 80 anyway...it really doesn't seem like very much fun!
Postscript: But, consult with you doctor before following my crackpot advise.....
