In my email reply to my doctor I asked him about the connection between high fructose corn syrup and cholesterol. He didn't respond to that part. But I've, well, been continuing to want to get off refined sugars again. But eating real food is hard :P
Yep, I struggle frequently with it because I like sugar. I've found I have my most success when I cut out all vegetable oil, refined carbs and any kind of sweeteners. Also bacon is my secret weapon, because it's awesome!
Also a good book that does a survey of much of the relevant scientific literature about fat, cholesterol, carbs and diet is: Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes

I do use olive oil, although I've read that it should only be used in cooking with moderate heat. I avoid, corn, cottonseed, sunflower types of oils.
