Keys, cholesterol and rabbits

The following quotation, attributed to Ancel Keys, has been repeated quite often, but with the source for it not always clear: “There’s no connection whatsoever between cholesterol in food and cholesterol in the blood. None. And we’ve known that all along. Cholesterol in the diet doesn’t matter at all unless you happen to be a chicken or a rabbit.” I have referenced it as having come from an interview with Ancel Keys in Eating Well magazine, 1997, but I have expressed concern at the source being less robust than I would like. I most recently said that in this post on eggs and dietary cholesterol.  I’m extremely grateful to Bob Kaplan who got in touch with me following that comment to share
