>> I have a story to tell you about cholesterol. I played recorders (early wind instruments) with a group, and when I started out as a beginner a man who had been playing a few years was always wanting to play music faster. Then he went on the Pritiken diet and drastically reduced fat (and cholesterol) in his diet. As time went on his playing became slower and slower and worse and worse. I could only conclude that a severely low fat diet impaired mental function.

  True, I believe this 100 %.

  Based on my studies, the heart needs 60 % of its energy from Fats.

When I do not eat enough fat, I take cod liver oil, eat peanut butter, flax seed oil, and almonds.

  Back in the 50's one great writer and health expert stated we need..........

  40 % fat
  40 % protein
and
  20 % carbs

 Most of the information today is a bit different from that.

And just like you stated, I know some people that are still avoiding FATS, due to misinformation and what they believe, from many years of exposure to the misinformation.

  Years ago, a friend and neighbor stated.............

"I do not eat breakfast, because everything you eat for breakfast is bad for you".

   Yes, both he and his wife were sick, and near 100 pounds overweight.

   Eat no Fat and suffer the results.

   I think primitive man knew better than that.  <grin>

I would like for a Vegetarian to explain how they get enough fat and amino acids.

Yes, I know a little about plants also. It is possible, and I eat more plants and less meat.
   ( than I did years ago )

   But I virtually never have the variety of plant foods I would like.

   An 18 wheeler load per month would be about right.

I hate to say or think, ......... but the more we learn, the more confused we get, at times.

The Cholesterol Scare and Information makes many people sick and kills many also.

And I only deduct, that is the purpose, other than all the money that is ripped off.
