You know I always wondered about that.  I never did figure out what he meant.

As far as Cholesterol goes, mine went from 206 to 145 in 5 weeks on a low
carb, almost paleo diet (I still eat small amounts of cheese), with an
improvement in my good to bad ratio.

The Protein Power book gives a pretty comprehensible explaination of the
complex relationship between carbohydrates, protein, insulin, fat and
cholesterol.

The WOE has worked well for me, but I understand individual metabolisms vary.
