Also try adding a fistful almonds in your diet every day. It helped me.

Are conventional attitudes towards saturated fat going to be challenged in the next generation. Does cholesterol really indicate susceptibility to heart diseases? Very watchable Aussie video about the flawed research used to create the typically recommended western diet. Get it while you can...

How old were they? What kind of cholesterol figures did they have? Where they generally active or inactive? Where they overweight/underweight?
