This appears to be true for some and false for others. Remember that Karsten Andersen's cholesterol went to 800 on an all-meat diet. I think it would be a great thing if we understood *why* people can have such utterly different reactions to the same sort of diet. Unfortunately, hardly anybody is even asking this question at the moment, so I suspect it will be some time before there are any answers. Todd Moody [log in to unmask]
