Yes, I've read Attia's whole blog, Lane3. Interesting. I thought my diet was high fat until I saw his -- he does eat a lot of processed, fatty meat, of which I do not approve, but I now add heavy cream to my scrambled eggs to bring up my fat consumption, LOL. As to his take on cholesterol, I'm on the fence (my LDL-P is 1482 which Attia would call a little high, my HDL-P is 32.6 which is good; oddly enough, this last time my total Cholesterol had gone up 21 pts, but my LDL-P dropped nearly 300 pts., all while I'm eating a high-fat diet, go figure). There is so much conflicting data and it seems people with low numbers die of heart attacks and people with high numbers live to 100 and die of something else, so who knows. The more I look into it, the more I realize how little we really know for sure about the human body and how it works. My conclusion is that my body knows best how to repair and maintain itself except in extremis, so I avoid drugs/surgery as much as possible and try to give my body all the help I can to do what it does best.

It sure looks like Dr. Dayspring is moving towards endorsing a low-carb, high-fat diet. He says that we need saturated fat in the diet, and carbs are turned into saturated fat in the blood. Sounds like a pretty TYP diet, doesn't it? Take a look at this video with Taubes. Dayspring is agreeing with Taubes right down the line. There are a youtube.com I see there is a whole series of videos with Dr. Dayspring and Gary Taubes under the auspices of "Specialty Health." These are very interesting.
