Survival wise, why would it be an advantage to not eat fats?
Considering how fats store a lot of energy, vitamins and nutrients why would humans need a cholesterol system that needs less of this godly substance?
With the extra energy and nutrients we would get stronger, faster and even smarter!
That's a pretty good point Frankie,
still doesn't explain why our cholesterol systems are so fat intolerant if our system hasn't changed then why would it be an advantage to be more intolerant of fat?
What about the HDL and LDL levels of cholesterol, don't they play into factor?

That may have worked thousands of years ago before fats were so cheap and easy to obtain. Back when starvation was one of the most common reasons for death. However, today most people lead a fairly sedentary lifestyle so don't get enough exercise. Nor do we have to store up food as fat in our bodies for drought or season of deprivation since food is inexpensive and plentiful. Few people die of starvation in developed countries. Unfortunately, our bodies have not adapted. So it is easy to overeat, especially fats. With all things, moderation is the key.
