[ExI] nutrition again

[William Flynn Wallace]

The argument will probably go on for years but that's all the evidence one
needs that low fat isn't the answer to improving health.  dave

Yes, I am quite convinced about that.  Not only does fat not raise
cholesterol but raised cholesterol may not be as dangerous as once
thought.  I am nearly sure about that one.  One nutrition book I read was
by a nurse who is on a 80% fat diet.
