    My total Cholesterol is 143..but my Bad is too high and my good is too low. I have always had good counts and am now concerned how to lower my bad and raise the good. I am thankful that we have ways to access info via internet. I am Diabetic and my doctor says this can happen quickly. I was surprised that my tests showed this change. I thought I was eating healthy!

    Why would a genetically modified soybean be considered healthier than trans-fats when that just the same as jumping from the frying pan into the fryer because eating genetically modified foods is not safe either!!!

    response 5 is the man who think in his own brain compared with other responses, I came from another regime which is blamed by US goverment. I saw 70%( I guess) American and Canadian have less intelligence than other countries. They are so confident that they are so informed by their goverment. I am so glad that I live here but

    My God is there no end to the crap from these MDs? Go to Weston A price ffor 64 page submission to FDA about why soy is bad for you. And, deep fried potatoes produce acrilamide a proven carcinogen. And cotton seed oil when used for frying causes lung damage. Sound like US. Dept of Agriculture to me.

    That is Conjugated Linoleic Acid. And unfermented soy may cause breast cancer, dementia and inhibit digestion, at least. If I am wrong sue me!

    Interesting article but doesn't really help much with "finding the trans fats". Thought it actually be saying where they were. And yes, agree with biolmed, doesn't look like much critical thinking was involved. And GM promotion - timely...

    I deep fry, saute and grill with EVOO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I have great cholesterol numbers. I fry, saute, grill, cook and bake with EVOO. No problem with EVOO burning or making anything taste weird. EVOO tastes great, is healthy for everyone, readily available and is a lot less expensive than taking Cholesterol drugs. I switched to EVOO almost 6 yrs. ago when I started caring for my elderly mother who is in renal failure. We only use EVOO instead of margarine or butter. Only 3 times a year do we splurg, and buy real butter for the holidays:) Toast is grilled with EVOO, cakes are baked with EVOO, pancakes...EVOO. You name it and we use EVOO just about. Its the good stuff:)
