I am not a fruitarian or even a raw foodist, but recognise the significant interest that the members on this site have in regards to the controversy around Denise Minger and the cholesterol skeptics in general.
I have created a couple of posts addressing the very serious inaccuracies and omissions in Denise Minger’s blog, in particular related to her claims about Forks Over Knives. I have included several hundred easily accessible references and also addressed a number of serious flaws in the controversies brought up by the cholesterol skeptics in my posts.
Please refer to the link below regarding my posts:

I am still editing these posts so let me know if you have any feedback and whether there is anything you believe I may have missed or should be modified. Also, if this post should belong in a different section of the forums please have it moved.

Your input is much appreciated healthy longevity. Your blog post looks very good. Make sure to promote the shit out of it.
Cholesterol denialism made (perhaps) some sense in the 1930's, the little ploys that these neo-carnivorists/creationist try to feed us today is just silly, old gimmicks the tobacco industry, vaccine denialists, 9/11 conspiratorists, climate change denialists, etc all have used.
her mental health seems to be failing so hard and when it mixes with the profit motive and her need for survival and to mislead and lie to people so often...
i friended her she said weston price pays her to do this stuff and that she is 'basically 811'
"you either are or you aren't 811" DG
greetings hl! and welcome to 30bad!
i haven't had a chance to read your posts yet, but a quick look suggests that they are going to be impressive! unfortunately, table 2 and 3 are nearly illegible. if you have access to better copies, perhaps you can put them in - otherwise, i may be able to find some that are more legible.
