@ Co – That is a GREAT idea for an article! I hadn’t considered writing about that, though it’s something I’ve thought about a lot. Thanks, I’m definitely adding it to the queue!

About cholesterol – the stuff we make and the stuff we ingest acts differently in our body. Necessary for our bodies, yes, but not at all necessary to consume. =)

Another great analysis! I’ve only started looking at your posts here, so maybe this is here, but I’d love to see an analysis of actual necessary daily values of nutrients like sodium vs. FDA recommended vs. other nations’ methods. I recently read that the FDA overestimates the RDA of sodium by a lot, and that the UK has a more reasonable recommendation.

I think, too, that people need to know that cholesterol is a necessary part of our biological processes (especially in natural steroid production and hormone synthesis) and that if we’re not getting it in our diet, that our bodies are making it from the fats in the veggies we eat.
