Just how long ago was it any/all parts of an egg were ‘taboo’?? Science has a LONG way to go to truly define how the body works, let alone how it works in every fashion. IE: There are no ‘experts’

Until then, I’ll follow this old, sage advice ‘too much of any one thing is bad, OK.’

If you like your donuts, you can keep your donuts. Period.

Unfortunately, for many no amount of exercise or healthy eating will bring the cholesterol numbers down to normal. Mine is hereditary from both sides of the family and yes, I take Lipitor too. But if I had continued all my bad habits, I'd be a lot worse. In fact, I was worse. I had a cardiac arrest in 2008. Not exactly looking forward to doing that again soon.

Well, my cardiologist is board certified, educated at several universities in the US and overseas, and recognized as pre-eminent in his field. The dietitian is registered with particular expertise in diabetes and heart disease. I like both because they are traditionalists. They don't embrace every dietary fad that comes down the pike — at least until new ideas are actually proven.

I prefer to rely on the professionals who know me and my personal and family history than some guy who is just trying to sell a book. Just because the author had “Dr.” in front of his name doesn't mean he knows what's best for me.

I’m listening to a guy that’s giving historical events for years corresponding to his show numbers, he’s in the 1200’s now.

There are historical people typically living 80 years or more, in keeping with the “modern” lifespan. They weren’t dying at 30 yrs old like we’ve been led to believe.

“cholesterol numbers down to normal”

several inherent assumptions in this phrase.
Can you spot them?

I don’t know what is the common knowledge...which is why I rely on a registered dietitian and my cardiologist for advice.

Common knowledge is often based on what the Dr says, and is often wrong. Your cardiologist was probably telling folks to go to polyunsaturated fats not long ago, and today the light oils are now suspect. Some doctors give out statins like candy, others have figured out that cholesterol numbers do not correlate with heart trouble, and that merely forcing the number downs benefits pharma but not the patient. The side effects of statins are ugly, and the benefits questionable.

The Australian Broadcasting company did a report on this issue:

Heart of the Matter Part 1 - Dietary Villains

Heart of the Matter Part 2 - Cholesterol Drug War

I could go with this if they would just go back to lard


You made me remember...

“Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.”
- Julius Caesar Act 1, scene 2


  Don't want to be a fat man,
  have not the patience to ignore all that.
  Hate to admit to myself half of my problems
  came from being fat.

  Ian Anderson (lead singer/songwriter, Jethro Tull)
