Are you local in the Bay Area? If so, you can sign up for email updates on the front page of my blog and you'll be notified in the future when I offer that talk again. In the meantime, you can check out all of the articles I've written on cholesterol, selected offsite articles, and handouts from my cholesterol talk <a href="http://chriskresser.com/cholesterol" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Reading through those articles should answer your questions - except for the TCM perspective. Look for a future article on that. In short, you should eat as much fat as you want, as long as it's saturated. Avoid polyunsaturated omega-6 fat as much as possible, and eat a small amount (1.5-2% of total calories) of omega-3 polyunsaturated fat. Check out the<a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/brochures/wapfbrochure.html" rel="nofollow"> Weston A. Price Foundation principles of healthy nutrition</a> for more information. Hi Kristin,
