Cholesterol Confusion Cleared Up
One of the first questions people ask me when they hear about low carb healthy fat nutrition is “what is all that fat going to do to my cholesterol?” Cholesterol and fats have been villainized for so long that BigPharma probably laughs at how easy it was to brainwash us all. We have been told […]
