Adrienne   I also read in Dr. Atkins book that he recommends that you
experiement to find whether high amounts of saturated fat affects your blood
lipids.  I've also read of the idea in the archives.

I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your new diet as I've just
ordered some coconut oil.  It seems to be having a very positive effect for
you, let's hope this also for your blood test.   Judy
