webMD article
Hi, here are two articles about Cholesterol IQ from webMD. Not sure which is the one Ken is referring to; both of course, promote the lowfat, high carbohydrate way of eating to lower blood cholesterol.
This first one is from webMD Canada

This one is from the US site

From the US site, here's one scary comment: "For most children, who are not from high-risk families, the best way to reduce the risk of adult heart disease is to follow a low saturated fat, low cholesterol eating pattern. All children over the age of 2 years and all adults should adopt a heart healthy eating pattern as a principal way of reducing coronary heart disease."
WRONG! Children up to the age of 4 years should be getting adequate fat in their diet. Yet, I have seen my health conscious friends give their toddlers skim milk to drink, and skim milk cheese slices, or white bread smeared with fat-reduced peanut butter. Then they wonder why the kids are always sick, getting every bug around. Sorry, I'm ranting. Kids need real food, with real, natural fat in it.
