David Feldman is a curious amateur medical researcher who has proposed the "lean mass hyper-responder" hypothesis that says some people respond very differently to dietary fat. I'm curious to know if you have comments about his conclusions, such as this evidence that for some people a diet of Oreos can actually *lower* LDL levels, demonstrating that obviously LDL lowering is not the be all and end all:

I would love to know the mechanism. I will dig in an try to find it before I sit down with my bag of oreo's. I am familiar with the term hyper responder but not "lean-mass hyper responder"
