[QUOTE="fergus, post: 106572, member: 6150"] It's been said before, but it's worth saying again. The liver produces ~80% of the cholesterol in your bloodstream. (Actually, there [i]isn't[/i] cholesterol in your bloodstream, only lipoproteins which carry the stuff). Anyway, the major influence on those lipoproteins has little to do with cholesterol in the diet and a whole lot more to do with the levels of glucose and insulin which actually[i]is[/i] in the bloodstream. The higher they are, the higher your triglycerides and the lower your HDL (both of which are actually more significant risk factors in heart disease risk than LDL, which is what saturated fat raises.) Eggs for breakfast? Bring 'em on. fergus [/QUOTE]
