Thank you Glen,
The science is still the same regarding saturated fats. The point this article makes is that it's a common misconceptions that eating food with high cholesterol gives you high cholesterol. The science or physiology of the it is; eating saturated fats causes your body to create LDL or BAD cholesterol. It also continues to say that eating foods with high cholesterol that is cooked in saturated fat (butter etc...) is bad for you. AND they do respect the 300 mg of Cholesterol per day reccomendation set forth by the American Heart Association (this IS current)
I guess in short, some cholesterol comes in the form of saturated fat (bacon/red meat) this is the stuff you should avoid. Other cholesterol comes in the absence of Saturated fat (seafood) which is easily digested by your body, provided you don't dip your lobster in butter, or pan fry your squid in batter and a saturated fat cooking oil. (ummmmm salt and pepper squid)
But I'll keep searching for a recent article.
