[Margaret Pilkington]

Reducing tha amount of animal fat eaten does not reduce cholsterol levels significantly.....in fact most of the cholesterol is manufactured by the liver. The only effective way to reduce cholesterol levels is to take one of the statins.

And as far as vegetarian diets go.....what about the level of pesticides that are being found in the fresh fruit and vegetables at the moment. So, it seems to me that however we try to improve our health by diet there will be some survey or other that will tell us that we are doing the wrong thing.

I am going to eat the food that appeals to me the most.....life is finite, it might as well be enjoyable.
