Yeah, I'm super excited about this. I've already emailed my doctor and my nutritionist with an in your face email, and requested that she provide me with a diet tailored to my needs based on the documentation of this and other studies, or that she at least look at the studies this time before dismissing my eating habits as dangerous and irresponsible.

As far as my doctor goes, I'm just hoping he reads it, he's of the opinion that I'm a hypochondriac, which is pretty ridiculous. I just like having my tests done so that I know where I am at and can adjust my intake of various things efficiently.

There's something ironic about a doc that comes up from the ground floor clinic huffing and red in the face, then stares you down with a gimlet eye and tells you that your diet is doing harm to your cardio vascular system, and is not long term sustainable, while he at the same time notes that your Lipids are spot on, and that you've lost 50 some odd pounds this time around and 100 last time.

Sometimes I really have the urge to kick his chair out from under him when he flops in it.
