One evening, my wife and I had a discussion about diet and cholesterol.  Since we seemed to have different ideas, I decided to purchase a book on cholesterol.  What we learned from that book was extremely enlightening.  First of all, there is no correlation between diet and cholesterol.  Second, there is no correlation between cholesterol and heart disease.  Third, people who take statins do not live any longer that those who don’t.  So we quit taking our statins and are no longer concerned about eating fats.
