There's a big difference between "mostly vegetarian" and vegan diets, especially when it comes to cholesterol, due to the eggs, milk, and whatever else it let through in that "mostly".
edit: form those disagreeing, please let me know the flaw in my statement.
I'm interested in the effects of milk and eggs because I love both. I've cut 'pointless' sugar out of my diet the last three years and eat less meat than I used to, but I'm not ready to go vegetarian (or even vegan) yet - although the people I know who have, rave about how much better and more energised they feel.
