Theola, you sound remarkably like the folk who keep pushing
the low fat diets as a cure for heart disease. Even if you
eat NO cholesterol, your body makes it because it is a
necessary substance. And you know what makes it? Insulin.
That is why heart and vascular problems are no seen to be
related to the diabetes and syndrome x diseases. What was
the carb intake for these folk? How is your own? If you
have been paleo for a while, go get your own cholesterol
measured. Reducing your carb intake should have it going
down...
