And even beyond that, new information concludes that high cholesterol does not cause coronary problems. It's only when the cholesterol become glycated (bonded with sugar molecules) and the endothelium becomes inflamed that cholesterol particles begin to embed themselves in the artery walls.

DWOB: When Keys did the study for the Mediterranean with peasants from Crete he failed to recognize/or ignored the fact that the study was conducted during Lent when they refrained from eating meat and cheese. He also ignored/failed to factor in that these folks tolled in the fields some 12 hours a day well into their 80's.
The other question I have is if diets work why is it 8 new ones are introduced every year.
Having said that I do believe we are what we consume but just can't get away from the moderation in all things as being instructive. So moderation in eating exercising but laughter, one can not get enough of.
