This is so disheartening (pun accidental). Thanks for the link though. I'll now go think of puppies before I actually let this enrage me (further). This is getting absurd.
Incidentally, I was talking to a good friend, who's a doc, about this. He told me that 35 years ago, his Dean hammered on the fact that if you lower cholesterol intake, the liver will just make more. So it's not like nobody knew back in the day.
