The interesting thing is that their diet was 39% fat and 41% carbs. Certainly not low in fat. I also get the impression the authors thought this diet unremarkable. Was 1974 before the widespread acceptance of the low-fat dogma?

The reason the monkeys who developed high serum cholesterol in this study were excluded is because "they clearly failed to meet the criterion set for the experimental monkeys" which was to have "plasma cholesterol maintained within the limits found in monkeys fed cholesterol-free diets."<br /><br />So, here we have monkeys whose cholesterol was within the range of monkeys who weren't eating any cholesterol, but they still developed plaque, lesions, and arterial elasticity problems linked to the cholesterol they were eating.Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-26820108359820574682012-08-21T08:53:39.450-04:002012-08-21T08:53:39.450-04:00It is likely that dietary cholesterol also increas...It is likely that dietary cholesterol also increases cardiovsacular disease independent of it's effects on serum cholesterol levels. As Spence JD, Jenkins DJ, and Davignon J stated in regards to the confusion over dietary cholesterol:<br /><br />The more important issue is the postprandial effects of consuming cholesterol, including egg yolk. Focusing on fasting serum cholesterol levels misses the bulk of the problem. Even though serum cholesterol rises very little after a meal, dietary cholesterol increases the susceptibility of LDL-C to oxidation, vascular inflammation, oxidative stress, and postprandial hyperlipemia and potentiates the harmful effects of saturated fat, impairs endothelial function, and increases cardiovascular events.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989358/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989358/</a><br /><a href="http://download.journals.elsevierhealth.com/pdfs/journals/0828-282X/PIIS0828282X10000292.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://download.journals.elsevierhealth.com/pdfs/journals/0828-282X/PIIS0828282X10000292.pdf</a><br /><br />Stamler J also pointed out in regards to animal studies and several prospective studies on humans that the association between dietary cholesterol and atheroslcerosis and coronary heart disease is in part independent of it's effect on serum cholesterol levels.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3052353" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3052353</a><br /><a href="http://www.ajcn.org/content/91/3/497.long" rel="nofollow">http://www.ajcn.org/content/91/3/497.long</a>Healthy Longevityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925293731211334914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-16439233910925839882012-08-19T17:07:29.217-04:002012-08-19T17:07:29.217-04:00Yummy-looking eggs--nice deeply colored yolks!
