Cholesterol and inflammation - which one should I worry about?

"The Cholesterol Myth"

This is a nice article that sums up some recent findings on cholesterol and how doc's are now backing away from the lipid hypothesis and saying that cholesterol is only a symptom of a larger problem of inflammation.  While I've read a lot about this before, this article is pretty clear and succinct.  The main idea - dietary cholesterol is not the problem, it's more about sugar and carbs, rancid fats, hydrogenated oils,  and trans fats causing inflammation that is the real culprit of heart disease.  So as the primal plan tells us, chow down on unprocessed meat, coconut oil, nuts, avocados, veggies, raw dairy, and eggs that aren't terribly overcooked (think poached or soft-boiled rather than hard-boiled or scrambled) with abandon and leave all those grains and sugars behind!
