Dr. Atkins said many good things about nuts and seeds. Actually Atkins Company sells several types of nuts with different spices and flavors. Macadamia, almond, pecan and pumpkin seeds are some of them.

I know there are conflicting opinions about everything. Some say that the cholesterol in the food we eat is the source of cholesterol in our bodies, some say that our body manufactures cholesterol from row materials...etc.

We don't know where the truth is. However we only have one life to live. We should take precations even if we are not sure where the truth is.

My extra worry about cholesterol is actually new. Just few days ago, I heared some bad news about a friend who has been on Atkins diet which has triggered my worry.
