Umm, a vegetarian diet by deffinition contains animal products. If it doesn't contain animal products it's vegan, not vegetarian. Vegetarian diet's are healthy, vegan diet's aren't. See

The cholesterol myth is nonsense too. It wasn't that long ago that a cholesterol level of 240 was considered healthy. Then it was dropped to 220 and now 200. Can anyone point me to the scientific justification for this?
The conspiricy theory is that the big pharma companies have had the limit arbitarily lowered so as to increase their market and there may be something to this theory. By the way the ALL cause death rate is higher for low cholesterol than for high cholesterol.
