Here is the first in a series of videos that explains it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPPYaVcXo1I The whole cholesterol = heart disease theory is based on unsound evidence! As for dietary cholesterol, it has little or no effect on blood levels of the average person. There are some that are sensitive, but most of us, at most, will see a very slight change (2-5 points maybe) with a higher level of dietary cholesterol! Also, read these articles about the original Framingham Heart study: http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/cardiovascular-disease/framingham-follies/ and http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/cardiovascular-disease/framingham-flip-flop/ Often cited, but no real evidence of a correlation or a danger of eating sat fats This is one of my favorite quotes: "For example, in Framingham, Mass, the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower the person’s serum cholesterol." This is from the then Director of the study! Alex, there actually IS no evidence that cholesterol causes heart disease!

A high triglyceride level, which is unequivocally fueled by a high carb diet...". Wouldn't a high fat diet contribute to a high triglyceride be attributed to a high fat diet as well? I am a little confused. Mark,

Can you clarify the following:

“Triglycerides are essentially the form that fat takes as it travels to the body’s tissues through the bloodstream … A high triglyceride level, which is unequivocally fueled by a high carb diet…”.

Wouldn’t a high fat diet contribute to a high triglyceride be attributed to a high fat diet as well? I am a little confused.

You seem to be saying (correct me if I'm wrong) that cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease, but inflammation is? Is that to say that there is no limit on cholesterol s long as you keep inflammation at bay? very confusing and feels like I am gambling with my health by eating contrary to 'common knowledge' Google searches show numerous references that dietary cholesterol increases blood cholesterol, and increased blood cholesterol has been proven to increase the risk of heart disease.

In your recent weight gain post you recommend a dozen eggs a day...how come that is safe and healthy? Is there a limit to how much dietary cholesteral should be consumed, and is there a direct link between dietary cholesteral and indicators of bad health? I’m still a little confused.
