I've been reading more and more stuff around that is saying that it's not the cholesterol you ingest that goes into the arteries but the cholesterol you produce, and the fats in margarine induce the liver to produce them. The knowledge in any field is constantly changing, and what was considered good in one generation is discovered to be bad in the next and then good again in the next. I generally rely on taste to guide my eating. (e.g. i come from a line of people who tend to eat very salty, as i do, and have low blood pressure as i do - mabye we have that taste for salt for a reason). |
