Hi, Steve!
I think it's all a roll of the dice. My husband and I eat nearly the
same diet, though mine has more and varied veggies involved. Almost
the same amount of eggs (2-4 goose or duck eggs per week). I eat more
dairy. We both eat Beefalo as it's a guilt-free beef (low
cholesterol). But here's the result - I have phenomenally great
cholesterol ratios and he has extremely bad cholesterol. Our doctor
says it's all in the genes. I also believe that, as the oatbran
suggests, the faster you get the fats and cholesterols out of your
system, the better off you are.
What I would like to know is since the body makes some of its
cholesterol, do people with high cholesterol make more, use less, or
metabolize it incorrectly?
By the way, high cholesterol does not necessarily mean clogged
arteries. Hubby just had a thorough diagnostics (I call it his mid-
life tune-up) and found that everything is clear and running
beautifully DESPITE the high cholesterol.
I also remember reading some articles many years ago about the rise in
cholesterol and heart disease linked to homogonization of milk. Seems
that the process breaks the fats down so small that they pass into the
bloodstream whereas fresh milk's molecules are too big to enter. No
wonder it's illegal to sell fresh whole milk. It's GOOD for you! ;-)

Yeah. Hydrogenised fats in things like baked goods and pre-prepared
meals - makes it last longer on the shelves - and in your arteries.

As you say its the question about whther the colesterol you eat has
much of an effect over and above that produced by your body. I have
very high "good" colesterol levels and somewhat high "bad", just need
to correct the balance.

Interesting bit about milk. Not heard that before.
