The Cholesterol Con
Maggie Mahar has some great history on the origins of the “good cholesterol” vs “bad cholesterol” stuff , and how we got to our thinking about cholesterol to begin with. I don’t know how the woman has time to write and research all this for her blog, but she’s absolutely amazing. When residency starts, I’m going to seriously be cutting back on my blog reading, but Maggie’s won’t be leaving my Feed Reader anytime soon. If you’re not reading it, I’ll say it again: you’re missing out on some of the best of the web.
