Keeping aside anecdotes of success, it appears like recent studies have only shown that
(a) earlier correlation studies were flawed by design. (b) the homeostasis of serum cholesterol is more complex than thought earlier, and earlier risks of high correlation between dietary cholesterol and CHD are exaggerated. >From here to claim that there is no correlation at all appears like a leap of faith? Not to say anything about the claimed lack of correlation of dietary fat -> serum lipids while not considering the type of fat... mufa / pufa etc. I am not an expert in any of this. Just a guy who is very interested to know whether to order my next omelet with the yellow or not :) -Karra On Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 8:32 PM, Venkat Mangudi - Silk < [email protected]> wrote: > There are many studies that have shown that the dietary cholesterol does > not increase blood cholesterol.
