I think youll find that all non-animal fats are cholestrol free Terry

Its not so much as to whether they are cholesterol free , but rather do they increase the HDL and lower the LDL ie coconut oil raises both .

Interesting news  - thanks for this update CK .

I agree with both Terry & Mikes' comments - I don't think that Andy has duped anyone but rather just provided forums for people to get involved in . I certainly don't think that he claims to know the secrets of all cuisines . Free enterprise and choice should be a good thing . Both sites provide a unique service . I am told that Andy is not in a position to make any comments as he has been banned .

This one sounds rather intriguing - must give it a try .

Just as a point of interest on this subject -

Some plant foods are also high in saturated fats, including coconut and coconut oil, palm oil, and palm kernel oil. Saturated fats raise total blood cholesterol levels more than dietary cholesterol because they tend to boost both good HDL and bad LDL cholesterol. The net effect is negative, meaning it's important to limit saturated fats.
Trans fats are even worse for cholesterol levels than saturated fats because they raise bad LDL and lower good HDL. They also fire inflammation, producing an overactivity of the immune system that has been implicated in heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic conditions. While you should limit your intake of saturated fats, it is important to eliminate trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils from your diet.
