Disappointing this tells us scientists "established" the harm of dietary cholesterol in the 50s without mentioning that it was a mistake. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee had to admit this around 10 years ago.

There could have been a whole article on how the Science establishment was bullied into submission by Ancel Keys...

That could be a good separate submission. But here in this one it would take very few words to avoid spreading a known falsehood as a scientific fact -- plus it'd add to what's interesting in this story. Like, animal brains have a lot of cholesterol for the same reason they're nutritious for us! We have a lot of brain!
