A Waikiki gay bar in 1973, in the week of an APA convention in Honolulu, was where a group of closeted homosexual psychiatrists agreed to remove homosexuality from the list of mental disorders.

Ah, the iron-clad, error-free, march of scientific enquiry.

Bttt.

BP 120/80 and 50 years old.

I eat almost exclusively meat, animal fat and leafy vegetables.

BP: 116/62

Cholesterol cut in half by eating lots of animal fat

All blood tests excellent.

56 YO.

Avoid carbs, especially corn and products thereof. Whole wheat is no good either. Throw out the margarine and bring on the real butter. Drink whole milk, not 2%, not skim. Never buy "fat free" anything because they take out the fat and re-thicken with corn starch. Following the above diet I lost 108 pounds in seven months.
