moderation again! (was: Cholesterol: How Low Should You Go?)

[Guest guest]

I winced when I read about that interview with Liza May. She's not in this

group though and I would suggest that such eating (just one apple) is not

what we want to project. If the CR Society thinks that is the way to

respond to media requests, that's up to them. I hope noone in this group

would project such an extreme image of CRON if talking to the media. IMO

it's the wrong message.

Eating even a couple of hundred calories a day less or even just cutting out

the junk and unhealthy foods is something that anyone can do. And many of

us on this list are in that category.

We have urged Moderation often enough (at least on this board) .
