Re:  But of HGs of the past...we don't know their readings.
It's too bad Weston Price didn't test cholesterol levels rather than for
cavities..

Actually he did and others have as well.  I believe some of Steffanson's
works list the cholesterol readings of eskimos on their native diet.  As I
recall, the Eskimos, Masai, and other primitive groups on their native diets
(free of the foods of commerce!) averaged 130-140 ml/dl  (Is that how it's
expressed?  Don't recall...but I know the number stands.  Maybe some people
run into problems with cholesterol going up (if indeed it's a problem)
because they fail to meet their EFA needs with their current selections.
Research indicates that EPA and DHA have a favorable effect on blood lipids.


Todd, maybe you could try eating fish 1x a day and then red meat or foul at
the other two meals....and including plenty of fibrous, leafy greens and
such, ifyou are not already.

Okay, enough for today.  Back to work.
