   "End of excerpts from: Ornish, D., Dr. Dean Ornish's Program For   
   Reversing Heart Disease, Random House, New York, 1990, page 61."   
      
   "1990" is 21 years ago and the entire science related to heart disease   
   has changed.  The author of that book then popular is no longer held in   
   much regard in the medical world.   
      
      
   But all the same, the remarks of jay stevens,aka dr. jai etc. about the   
   source of cholesterol remains the same as in 1990.  Humans produce the   
   largest part of cholesterol in their blood, what is consumed is a   
   minority part.   
      
   What has been learned in 21 years is that obesity not source of   
   cholesterol source is the vital factor.  Eat too much and the excess is   
   turned by the body into cholesterol.   
      
   That is why with the soaring rate of obesity and cholesterol levels in   
   india we find the highest rate of heart disease and diabetes.  Eating   
   meat is not the source of that rate.
