I've read it, though it has been a good while now. Frankly, it convinced me
that diet has very little to do with blood cholesterol and to overly worry
about cholesterol is probably the wrong thing to do. The author points out
many examples of bad science, as i recall.

Actually more specifically (got it wrong initially since the book has an 's'
at the end):

There is also a hardback version which costs more.

When they say that diet does not lower cholesterol, they mean a low
fat "heart friendly" diet.

Low carb seems to actually be able to lower cholesterol, in some
people, but it would na an anathema to the "diet-heart" proponents.

I think one of the key point are trans fats. They seem to have the most
dietary impact on blood cholesterol, far and beyond regular dietary
cholesterol sources. Low fat has been industrialized so much that many low
fat products are also full of hydrogenated oils. Actually, many diet
"hyperprotidic" products are also loaded with trans fats. That might be one
of the reasons why low fat is so bad at lowering blood cholesterol.
