I linked this article a few days ago but suspect you didn’t get all the way through it. Please try again.

Not only is dairy fat unlikely to increase heart-disease risk, Dr. Krauss and others have learned, but reducing saturated fat in a way that increases carbohydrates in a diet can shift a person’s LDL profile from safe to dangerous. That’s pretty much what happens whenever some well-meaning person with “high LDL” starts eating “low-fat” frozen dinners filled out with corn-derived additives, all the while engaging in the customary ravaging of a basket filled with dinner rolls.

and…

[..the] surest way you can reduce your numbers of the LDL that matters is to rely on time-tested advice. Eating fewer carbohydrates, losing weight, and engaging in more physical activity have all been shown to reduce small LDL. Weight loss, in fact, has been demonstrated to reverse the dreaded pattern B all by itself. In other words, worry less about eggs or butter and their effect on LDL, and focus more on eating fewer processed foods and staying in motion.

If you have high cholesterol (or are carrying around extra weight) I bet your diet isn’t too far off the typical low-fat diet described above. Maybe you don’t eat rolls but eat cereal and bagels. Maybe pasta with a low-fat sauce is your regular standby. Why not try it for 30 days and see if it doesn’t improve your health? If you don’t like the weightloss, lack of energy crashes or you can always go back to your current diet.

Maybe the Paleo diet is at the end of a double rainbow…
