sorry my bungle. I was thinking of conjugated linoleic acid, a fat even more
interesting than GLA, with its anti-hyperinsulin and anti-carcinogenic
properties. if it wasnt found in meat it would be regarded with the same awe
as flax.

Udo himself gives reasons, on pp325-35..if only he read his own book.
increase in transfatty acids in artificial vege oils
increase in white sugar consumption
decrease in Vit C

as he himelf says cholesterol cannot be a direct cause.

i would add:
glycation products from cooking at high temperatures and/or without water
wheat consumption
decrease in phytochemical consumption
