Therefore, eating high soluble fiber diet will “soak up” the bile in your system, thus forcing the body to make more. It is this making more new bile that actually reduces the cholesterol because the liver breaks down cholesterol in the blood to create bile.
At least that was my takeaway…

Thanks for that. I was poking around the website, but couldn't find the meaty parts such as that. What does she say about dairy products, if you know?

the only thing listed here that is dairy related is "use butter instead of margerine

didnt see anything directly related to "dairy is bad" as a general rule.

I suspect that she has different diet plans for different health issues that might include not using dairy.

Here is a list of health issues with commentary about them along with some notations on diet plans.

I know that at least on milk, she doesn't want anyone to ever drink any. I read one of her books so I don't know all her opinions.

Thanks, that's what "my guy" says, too (except for babies not breastfed.) I've also read a fairly compelling case that the whole Food Pyramid drawing thing (with "dairy" prominently on one level) is an agribusiness-driven fraud, or at least the product of obsolete 1940s beliefs. Still, I cheat with butter all the time--it heips very fibrous carbs digest easier. Some cultures lived *primarily* off of dairy products (but not necessarily healthily.)

Yeah I just heard about that food pyramid fraud for the first time ever (not from Karen Hurd).

Anyway, I have stopped buying milk now. My son, who we believe to have aspergers, drank so much milk all the time, but for autism that is one of the worst things.
