Even with latest knowledge that makes cholesterol innocent for heart diseases, what you eat still have a great importance and therefore you are still responsible of your health. Omega 3 / omega 6 fat ratio seems to play a major role, so does trans fats and refined carbs.

In other words, no need to throw egg yolks because of the cholesterol they contain, but junk food is still bad for your health.

This is good news. We have known for a while that if you reduce cholesterol intake, your liver will produce more so that you get back to your equilibrium.

But some voices told us recently that a high cholesterol could not the root cause for heart diseases, but just an hint that something is wrong, like fever is not the reason why your are sick, but a consequence.

If you are so much rooted in reality, then I guess you know the level of bad debt Iceland banks had accumulated, before the government took measures that would have been forbidden by EU treaties.

Sure current Iceland current situation is far from being perfect, but it is much better than Greece that followed all the rules (but it changes now).

I know that very well. But being outside still has less rules than being inside, especially on economic rules like debt. And I am not sure to have any real influence gain by being inside (referendum are ignored...).

Could Iceland have saved its ass from 2008 crisis if it had been inside the eurozone? I am convinced membership would have been a liability more than an asset.

But let us see if the Greek government can prove me wrong.

Thank you for explaining my own words to me, you seem to know what I think better than I do.

Indeed I agreed the Lisbon treaty moved more subjects to the codecision procedure. But the MEP I vote for still cannot initiate change in EU policies. Even if the EU parliament could convince the EU commission to do initiate a directive, there are many subjects that are carved into treaties and cannot be changed.

Calling such a system democratic is a joke. In 2005, after the referendum in France and Netherlands, I believed EU could get more democratic. Ten years later, we had the referendum-rejected treaty that has been adopted without a referendum as the Lisbon treaty, and the TSCG that added even more economic rules that are not subject to democratic discussion. I do not believe anymore EU could turn into something I would consider positive. I think my own country would be better quitting EU.

Quoting myself: "I said we Submit more subjects to EU parliament, but it remains powerless "
