[QUOTE="janeislay, post: 184808, member: 32062"] [b]Re: Cholesterol[/b] I don't think the people writing books like the "Cholesterol Con" and several others, are doing it for money - having corresponded with a number of them. They sincerely want to get the facts out and to help people keep healthy. They know, as I do, that pharmaceutical companies conduct much of the research (or pay scientists to do so) and only publish the bits that help THEM sell their drugs. Did you know that drug companies used to pay newspapers for "reprints" in return for that newspaper not pubishing anything untoward about statins ? If you're really interested in fats and cholesterol, go to the THINCS website (The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics) at [url=http://www.thincs.org]http://www.thincs.org[/url] I've been diagnosed Type 2 for eight years, have an overall cholesterol level of over 10. I had peripheral artery disease and have heart failure, apparently, but have never felt better and have absolutely no symptoms whatever - thanks largely to my high fat diet :D (And by the way, statins cause muscle degeneration in many people. Your heart is a muscle; hence heart failure.) They also cause depression, impotence, memory loss and much more - but don't let me put you off :) [/QUOTE]
