Think about "Paleo" diets and what Weight-Lifters eat to stay lean and mean. That one liner was probably one of those true-isms of life that El-Rushbo ought to add to his current 35...
wonder if this is so this way the new Obamacare peeps do not have to pay for cholesterol lowering drugs.
They’ve also changed the stats for high blood pressure so less people need to be on high blood pressure meds...more money saved.
Course the patient will have problems.
Miles Monroe: I don't smoke.
Dr. Orva: It's tobacco. It's one of the healthiest things for your body. Now go ahead. You need all the strength you can get.
I spent my productive years eating lotsa ice cream, drinking milk by the gallon, and eating pizza. My doctor said I had the highest cholesterol reading he had ever seen. Now let me tell you about the stents I had to have and the lipitor I take to clear out my arteries. But you go ahead on...
One small step to admitting Dr. Atkins was correct. Eat lean protein sources and greens vegetables.
If people need help taming the cholesterol numbers, try this product: Citrus Bergamot
The “Bergamot” is a type of orange grown only in a certain part of Italy. It is a citrus .. and it’s components are more helpful in keeping the cholesterol numbers good than all the Lipitor in the world.
Here are the stats I found:
22% + Decrease in Blood Sugar
38% + Decrease in LDL
50% + Increase in HDL
30% + Decrease in Triglycerides
I found it at www.vitaminshoppe.com
A 60 day supply is under $40
My supply should arrive today or tomorrow. After 2 months, I’m going to have another blood test to see the results of this new capsule.
I can’t take Lipitor because I have already experienced the “rare but serious side effect of swelling of the face, tongue or throat”. But, my cholesterol numbers are a combination of genetics and food - the full prize. So, I’m very excited about this prospect of no longer having to worry so much about eating that T-Bone I enjoy.
Drink lots of Earl Gray Tea. It has bergamot in it.
Forty and 45 years ago the left started deconstructing every element of our life, not just on things like breaking up our communities and busing our kids, creating new words and forbidding un PC opinions and the formation of an entirely new language, and with homosexuality and the rewriting of American history and of Western Civilization, but even inside of our homes and our cars, and our eating and drinking.
A simple thing like a typical American breakfast, came under serious and sustained assault.
Well, Michelle want to fight obesity in children. What better way than giving them crappy, moldy, nasty food that they won’t eat?
One small step to admitting Dr. Atkins was correct. Eat lean protein sources and greens vegetables.
Atkins isn't a high protein diet, it's a high fat diet.
The Swedes have it right. Eat low carb, high fat, moderate protein.
I just started 10 mg Lipitor (on two weeks), just to see if it works. No side effects. I do not feel that it is that necessary, but will try it once. I am quite sedentary in my job, but it says that Lipitor will only work as directed along with exercise and diet. Fat chance for that right now. If I did that, I wouldn’t take the drug.
So does the Green Tea with Citrus that I do drink.
Unfortunately, it uses the “oil” of the fruit and not the rest of the fruit .. thus, it does not have the power of the capsule.
But, I think it will be helpful overall.
Fraudulent study by Ancel Keys, a USDA in bed with wheat, corn and sugar lobbies, and wanting to save money on the new food stamp program. Meat is bad and wheat is good.
Millions are dying of obesity-related diseases today because of “low fat” fraud.

Lipitor also destroyed some of my muscle structure. Doctor switched me over to Lovastatin .. and that really didn’t help at all. Both meds have the same “rare” warning.
I’d rather take the risk than choke to death when my tongue swells up.
Government statements are to be taken with a grain of salt, especially with the penchant for lying, suppression of facts, and generally corrupt behavior.
She was the dietitian running the scientific committee that produced the recommendations, back in the early 80's. Recommendations that were ignored entirely by the bureaucrats, who then gave us the food pyramid.
The experts recommended a diet of 40% carb, 30% fat, and 30% protein, with most of the carbs in the form of vegetables and whole grains. The bureaucrats ignored them, and issued recommendations of 65% carbs, with no mention of whole grains.
Her comments on the 2004 guidelines: A Fatally Flawed Food Guide
I read a bunch of stuff nearly 20 years ago now that made me believe that dietary cholesterol had little if any significant effect on serum cholesterol levels. Turns out I’ve been right.
My tendency is to take all dietary conventional wisdom with a grain of salt (pun somewhat intended). I think that it will eventually turn out that all this worry about levels of serum cholesterol was probably misplaced, also.
That’s not to say I buy the claims of the alternative medicine/diet people, either. They tend to believe a lot of stuff without any really good reason.
Stash double bergamo Earl Greg black tea is avalible from Amazon at a very reasonable price. Add some mint green tea for a great sun tea.
I’m so confused.
I would say there is more reason to believe that large amounts of sugar is bad for us than there was for saturated fat or cholesterol.
Arteriosclerosis and other circulatory diseases were rampant before statin drugs hit the market, so I can’t buy into that theory.
