<<You know, the truth *is* in the medical books, just that no one looks at
it.
They know that triglycerides are one of the most atherogenic components of
cholesterol. They know that one of the major causes of elevated
triglycerides is a high carbohydrate diet. They know that vegetarians tend
to have low levels of HDL, the cholesterol that scavenges fats deposited in
atherosclerosis and returns it to the liver where it is excreted. They know
that a low fat diet rarely lowers LDL cholesterol, the stuff that gets
deposited. But no one seems to be putting all this together.>>

This is very true.  I have many medical books that spell this out. Spevialty
medical journals do also.  But, sadly, the people who need to read these
things, aren't.

Here is a fantastic link  - http://www.gretmar.com/webdoctor/journals.html

All journals found here contain full text articles.

And - http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/dept/rosenthal/Databases.html

argueably the best site for finding quality medical databases
