You really love to post that!! But you yourself have admitted that it
doesn't jibe with what is written in other accounts of the experiment. How
do you know that the 800 isn't a misprint? I bet it is. In the Harper's
"Adventures in Diet" it has "we were in at least as good average health
during the year as we had been during the three week mixed-diet at the
start. We thought our health had been a little better than average." I find
it hard to believe Stefansson would write that with Anderson having a
cholesterol of 800, which is a number almost impossible to achieve.
