Thanks for your comment.

I would challenge you to read some more about LDL cholesterol. The high LDL/higher risk of heart disease model is being overturned.

That quote you gave is from Harvard Health. They're well known for being anti-meat/pro carb. Harvard Has Been Anti-Meat for 30+ Years—Why?

The book The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholtz has a full chapter on why low LDL does not mean better health, and why saturated fat is actually good for you.

Also about the history of the demonization of saturated fat (hint - the sugar industry wanted to divert attention from the problems caused by sugar). There's some very well-referenced data in that chapter, as indeed in the whole book.

And Nina Teicholtz as well has a great (short) article out on low carb diets, and how the USDA is deliberately ignoring the many very well proven health benefits of a low-carb diet: USDA Ignoring the Science on Low-Carb Diets

I'm not against meat, although I'm a vegetarian due to I being raised in a Hindu Brahmin Family. We don't eat any sort of meat. I love herbs, vegetables and fruits because they have disease prevention and healing capacity which I don't see is a case with meat.
