What exactly do you mean with fine?

Um. Probably lack of noticeable health/fitness problems. But yes, it's a vague word. On the other hand, the general level of uncertainty here is high enough to make a precise definition not worthwhile. We are not running clinical trials here.

By the way, the vagueness of "major ... part of ... diet" is a bigger handwave here :-/

Probably lack of noticeable health/fitness problems.

The more I read about nutrition the more I come to the conclusion that most diets do have effects. Some advantages and some disadvantages.

I thing there a good chance that A diet without any cholesterol might reduce some hormone levels and some people who look hard enough might see that as an issue.
