In response to "Cholesterol and blood vessel inflammation? -- (link)" by Dr.Vermin

the scientific basis has been known for many years, but the medical establishment push low fat food so hard, that it has become ingrained in society.

But low fat food means high sugar food, and high sugar food really does raise cholesterol.

The implication is that we as a society need to rethink what constitutes "healthy" food.

  - I just read an article about a guy who went through several diets, all successful to a point, and ended up mostly just cutting out processed carbs. -- (link) - mara Jul 31, 11:53 4

        Oooh. Didn't think of that. It had a face and isn't breaded or batter-dipped. I need to have a healthy diet and this one looks like it could work. - Krusty Jul 31, 12:11
  - I am thinking of doing paleo. I definitely need to do low carb (it's recommended by my doctor and it really works best) but it's so hard to maintiain. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:47 1
    - I've considered it as well, it just seems like a lot of work. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 11:48
The inflammation bit was new to me. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 31, 11:45 1
- I think that interpretation is relatively new. But it has been known for many years that dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:46
