hi-
Jandy, remember that this book was published before all of the new research showing how saturated fats affect us. I just ignore all the old info and use the book as a guide.
CAHHP was the Heller's response to lots of criticism of LC diets- and has a 3rd author who is a cardiologist (still in practice doing lots of LC stuff). They wanted to help people with heart issues- and now of course we know that LC is very heart healthy.
