I get a lot of push back on red meat and why I suggest it. Too much saturated fat-bad ofr your heart-bad for cholesterol. I have gone into some detail on this in previous posts. But, this is a really nice article from Dr. Mercola which gives some nice concise inght on the matter. IT also includes some other foods which, I also recommend down the line of treatment. Coconut and coconut oil is the only area where caution needs to be heeded for those with IC bc it will cuase huge set backs. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/12/24/cbs-sings-praises-of-fat.aspx?e_cid=20111224_DNL_art_1
