Wasn't exactly that subject covered at length in numerous books already? Just to pick a few at (almost) random, with very similar names

The Great Cholesterol Con

http://www.amazon.com/Great-Cholesterol-Con-Anthony-Colpo-eb...

The Cholesterol Myths: Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease

http://www.amazon.com/The-Cholesterol-Myths-Exposing-Saturat...

The Great Cholesterol Con: The Truth About What Really Causes Heart Disease and How to Avoid It

http://www.amazon.com/Great-Cholesterol-Con-Really-Disease-e...

(Of these, I personally read only Anthony Colpo's Great Cholesterol Con and consider it to be a very good analysis)



Not to mention these two:

Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It http://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Fat-About/dp/0307474259

Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health http://www.amazon.com/Good-Calories-Bad-Controversial-Scienc...


Sure, but these two, I believe, include the subject of cholesterol, but also cover much broader area of subjects.


This, although written many years ago (and shows, but it adds to the charm), is what I consider to be something which should be read by everyone.
