    It's an essential nutrient.

    If it is the (weight is only determined by CI<CO) calorie counters, then toss that back at them. Weight is just about calories, right? The fats fit my calorie count.

    The usual culprits are the cholesterol, arteries, heart attack kind of crowd. Lol

    Cardiologists don't even believe that any more.

    My new MD is in her 40's and when my cholesterol was down to 257 she said that was fine because they do not even consider statins until it hits 290. Last year it was 200 at the same clinic when they wanted to start me on statins. MD knowledge about cholesterol and fat is improving it seems.
