Is the Great Cholesterol Scam finally ending?

About time:

A U.S. advisory panel reviewing national dietary guidelines has decided to drop its caution against eating cholesterol-laden food

For decades, the government has warned against diets high in cholesterol. But now many nutritionists believe that cholesterol intake may not significantly impact cholesterol blood levels or increase the risk of heart disease in healthy adults

Which is exactly what I and many other people figured out years ago: it's yet another scam by BigPharma.

As I've stated here before, I've quite a lot of respect for surgeons; they are almost uniformly exceptional people of high intelligence and perception with a solid American work ethic. General practitioners, on the other hand, are with rare exceptions nothing more than pill pimps with a good enough memory to get through eight boring years of regurgitating anatomical factoids. Their reasoning skills are most often impaired by their need to churn out the highest possible patient turn rate. For most, their primary interest lies entirely in how expensive is the next bottle of pills they can prescribe.

Some things benefit from medicated controls, beyond doubt. There's never been a single credible scrap of evidence that cholesterol is one of those things.
