[QUOTE="fergus, post: 102255, member: 6150"] Me too. I've eaten low-carb for 9 years now and my cholesterol levels have never been better. My most recent results from April the year show a total cholesterol of 4.9, an HDL of 2.8 and triglycerides at 0.6. I don't restrict butter, cream, cheese, mayo, meat or eggs at all. The demonisation of cholesterol is completely misguided in my view. It's a very poor indicator of heart disease risk, so much so that even Ancel Keys who built a career out of blaming saturated fat and cholesterol for heart disease eventually conceded it had little if any link at all. When you add to that the fact that carbohydrates and insulin both raise triglyceride levels and reduce HDL, it starts to look as if a lot of the conventional wisdom isn't very wise at all........ All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
