Cholesterol is an important hormone for brain function. Lowering it often results in early onset dementia and Alzheimers disease.
Dr Williams last statement in this post is also very important. Even Dr Dean Ornish has admitted that it is extremely difficult for most people to stay on this very unnatural way of eating. Some take to it, but most have a of of difficult staying with it. I believe that it is because the human body, especially the brain, craves and needs saturated fat. When you begin starving the brain of essential nutrients, it begins to tell you what it needs in the form of cravings.

I agree!!! There are two more doctors to add to this list...Dr. William Davis (Wheat Belly) and Dr. David Perlmutter (Grain Brain), both authors of these books and both practicing physicians. I learned so much from these men. Dr. Davis is a preventative cardiologist and Dr. Perlmutter is a neurologist. Both will say our brains need "good" fat, ie. olive oil, coconut oil and butter. It's the fats from grains that are bad for us....spikes our glycemic levels and more.
