true correlation doesn't equal causation, but at the same time what you posted was one man's word against an accepted understanding. Howeve, north american health agencies still agree with the correlation of cholesterol and heart disease and current university courses, still "preach" this information. Believe it or not, this social belief did not come without research, and multitudes of studies have been put into cardiovascular disease. Whatever you wish to believe is up to you, but go out there and tell a doctor straight up. "I'm on a high cholesterol diet full of saturated fat," and see what he says, probably not "good going chap!" As a side note, Transfats are avoided due to the fact that they were originally non-hydrogenated fats (good) that have been converted into a version similar to saturated fats in form and function. So a high intake of saturated fats is just as bad as transfat. I won't waste my time explaining the organic structures of them. Rock on with your amazing health philosophy, it sure sounds tasty
