Don't nix the butter and saturated fat altogether though. I was thinking more of the fatty meats and cheese. One tablespoon (15ml) of real dairy butter has 11g fat in it .. but a Tbsp goes a long way for cooking and seasoning food. Whereas a single ounce (30g) of cheddar cheese has 9g fat ... and way, way easy to go overboard and eat 2 or 3 ounces in one go.

I posted this to another member recently ... that you do need to eat a small amount of cholesterol every day. Egg yolk, liver, dairy, red meat, shellfish, the skin from poultry ... Our livers make about 80% of the cholesterol that's required every day for the body to function. The other 20% must come from food .. otherwise, the liver will have to work overtime to produce the extra .. and it's usually of the LDL or "bad" type.

Moderation is key
