There are no health risks for commercially raised animal products, although presumably there would be compared to grassfed. Check out: http://www.ravnskov.nu/cholesterol.htm the most well rounded such site http://medicaltruth.com/cholesterol/myth.htm the article is in PDF, but its very well written and enjoyable. Its an article that appeared in the atlantic monthly in 1989. http://www.sover.net/~timw/fat.htm " The soft science of dietary fat " article published in Science, a very prestigious peer-reviewed research journal. Its not technical so you should have no problems reading it. http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/cholesterol_myth_1.html kinda long-winded, but has some good stuff. Worth checking out just for the graph that compares margarine consumption to heart disease rates. and finally, I did a literature review pn cholesterol, which is article 6401 in the archives of this group.

I'm not sure about milk, but beef, absolutely, eggs, very probably, though eggs from battery chickens have so much bad stuff in them I sometimes wonder. I wouldn't touch any meat from non-ruminants raised the standard way, though, as their fat will be completely different from the healthy fat of their naturally-raised relatives. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
