This confirms my personal experience - going from low fat to moderate
fat has improved my lipid profile, and I've lost weight. It's
important to note Dr. Willett is in favor of "good" fats - unsaturated
- eg olive oil, corn oil, etc but not butter or fats from red meats.
For his plan see http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/pyramids.html
