OK, point taken and I'd be interested to know his thinking on fat. As you may know so many in the NHS etc are still giving out the 'don't eat saturated fats' mantra and assume that's how the arteries get clogged that I just assumed his reasoning. He appears to be good.Excuse me - he'a a top Endocrinologist who didn't say it would make me fat or clog up my arteries. There may be another reason and i will ask him when I see him at the end of April.
He's very aware of the LCHF diet and he also advocates lowering carbohydrates to lower blood sugar. Everyone knows it's the liver that produces about 80-.90 percent cholesterol and little comes from food intake. Even then there's strong opinion that high cholesterol does not lead to strokes, heart disease and that it's actually good for the body.
