Comment: Time magazine was a key player in promoting the cholesterol myth that has ruined our health and has killed scores of people throughout the world during the last decades. It advocated studies and health policies that are responsible for the world's epidemic of heart disease by promoting carbohydrates as a replacement of anti-inflammatory animal fats. The science behind this simple and common sense concept is irrefutable. For more information see:
