This link below from Yahoo sees US health professionals and medical scientists doing a U-turn on foods they once told people to avoid because of the cholesterol factor:

Foods such as avocados:
And full fat dairy products such as cheese and full fat milk and cream:
I still believe taking heed to my GP's advice is wise. Doctors are human but we consult them for a good reason and that is to guide us in regard to our health.
Ultimately, our health is our responsibility and the informed decisions we make come from the advice we get and if we aren't happy with certain health advice, that's what second opinions are for.
I believe the idea of 'good' fats have been around for some years now, such as; olive oil and avocados and their oil, dairy products and red meat in moderation, to name a few.
I think a good, balanced eating plan is the way to go, unless you have some health condition that needs close, medical and nutritional monitoring, in which case I believe we should adhere to the advice.
Dietary advice can be obtained from your GP or GP's nurse, or a trained nutritionist.
For people who have special conditions where specialised advice is needed, there is usually a practitioner - like a diabetes nurse at your local medical centre who your GP will probably refer you to. If not, just ask.
Do you have a health condition where you have to be careful of certain foods or be on a special eating plan? Your experience might help someone else.
To your health!
