This appears to be true for some and false for others.  Remember
that Karsten Andersen's cholesterol went to 800 on an all-meat

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.
