The medical profession has been getting to get us to lower cholesterol through diet, (which is almost impossible by the way due the fact that only 20% of our serum choleseterol comes from diet.) and having us risk many other diseases such as diabetes and alzheimers.

Buy the way, HDL and LDL are not cholesterol.
This is true!!!! There are TWO excellent books out now re: "diet" and how it's affecting our culture. The 1st one is "Wheat Belly" by Dr. Wm. Davis and the 2nd one is "Grain Brain" by Dr. Perlmutter (this book is a #1 best seller at our local Barnes and Noble). The former is a preventative cardiologist who "walks his talk". The latter is a neurologist. BOTH have see what the gmo's, processed foods etc. have done to the health and well-being of our country. You can go into the sites on Facebook and see the plethora of people who are having better than good results. It's NOT a "diet" but a way of living!!!
