Story 2: In the 1970’s, Cardiovascular Diseases (Heart Attack, Stroke, Hypertension) were ravaging the American Public as the leading cause of DEATH! A questionable research study pointed toward a specific blood fat called Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) as the underlying cause of CVD’s. Diets that were high in saturated fats (solid at room temperature, i. e. cooled solid bacon grease) were
