"only" 3 or 4 times? I wouldn't like my cholesterol to increase "only" that
amount... On the other hand, eggs are not part of rabbits' natural diet.
I wonder if a diet, high in raw meat, would cause elevation of serum cholesterol
among humans. Some people on the Paleofood list are complaining that their diet
doesn't work as well as expected (concerning weight loss and cholesterol), and
it would be really interesting to know if they would benefit from eating raw or
not.
