Did you know that the connection between fat, cholesterol and heart disease is a theory and has never been definitively proven in the research?  If you are like me, that idea is flabbergasting!  For decades we have been told to watch our saturated fat so that are cholesterol stays low and we don’t develop heart disease.  Over the last few years, research has shown that this connection is not so simple.  Research has uncovered that people with the highest cholesterol in the over 75 category, live the longest.  Women are another category of people who need higher cholesterol to be healthy.  Plus, we should be eating saturated fat.
