The film is available for a few days free of charge here."The persistent myth that dietary fat causes obesity and promotes heart disease has undoubtedly ruined the health of millions of people. It's difficult to know just how many people have succumbed to chronic poor health from following conventional low-fat, high-carb recommendations, but I'm sure the number is significant.In the featured documentary, Cereal Killers, 41-year-old Donal O'Neill turns the American food pyramid upside-down—eliminating sugars and grains, and dramatically boosting his fat intake. In so doing, he improves his health to the point of reducing his hereditary risk factors for heart disease to nil.Watching people's reactions to his diet brings home just how brainwashed we've all become when it comes to dietary fat. Most fear it. Yet they will consume sugarin amounts that virtually guarantee they'll suffer all the devastating health consequences they're trying to prevent by avoiding fat, and then some!"

Great program. Strongly recommended. Interesting to see how high LDL can go and yet be 'friendly.' Any GP would be urging this guy to go on a statin.
My total is around 6 and LDL around 4 (both lower than this guy's) but with trigs around 1 I'm not worrying.
Seeing different GP today for yearly diabetic clinic, and expect discussion over 'worrying' total cholesterol. Might just recommend this film to him !

Hello Geoff ... many thanks for your comment. Wouldn't it be great if every GP sat down and watched this film...... Hope your diabetic clinic appointment went well.
Take Care
All the best Jan
