I'm real curious (and greatly concerned), I'm looking at Eades' "Protein
Power" and I see the lowest IDEAL body fat is 12% for a male, rising as
we get older -- therefore isn't your 4.7% too low?

Further, I see a chart of "Deaths from all causes vs Cholesterol levels"
and it sure looks like a 120 is as risky as a 260+, doesn't it?

Eades say: "As your cholesterol levels falls below a certain point, you
jump out of the frying pan of heart disease risk and into the fire of
death by all sorts of other diseases."  He mentions such things as
cerebral hemorrhage and many types of cancer "for which falling
cholesterol is a marker."

With all due respect, I wonder?
