During that particular experiment. Without knowing the further details about that subject, I have been eating multiple pounds of highly fatty meat and cheese with the addition of butter daily for several years. It would be surprising to me that 2 to 3 pounds wouldn't show signs of mild hypercholesterolemia but 6 pounds a day would suddenly result in yellow nodules all over the place. It also doesn't make sense for this to happen to someone who isn't hypercholesterolemic based on how cholesterol is normally handled by the liver. It's a tightly regulated system.
