It goes on and on. Look into it. It really is an amazing swindle.
I am re-reading the Kendrick book (one of the "Great Cholesterol Con" books in the Amazon list) right now. It is an excellent primer on CHD and its real causes. I think PUFA consumption does play a role though - avoid vegetable oils at all costs. It causes easily oxidized LDL, which is bad news.
