I vote for this statement as my personal favorite:

But the latest dietary research now downplays the importance of cholesterol.

My second most favorite:

"Focusing on cholesterol is a myopic approach to health," said Colin Rose, associate professor of medicine at the McGill University Health Centre. "Any weight loss will lower total cholesterol and a high-carbohydrate diet will lower it more than a low-carb one," he said.

I guess cholesterol is no longer that important now that the LF mantra that "fat and red meat will make your cholesterol shoot through the roof" has been proven wrong.

I wonder why Lipitor is such a big hit for high-cholesterol if LF/high-carbohydrate is the answer? I don't remember ever hearing this garbage until LC became so mainstream and threating to the medical community...who pushed LF down our throats for 30 years. And just look at the results !
