Consumption <> Blood Serum.
This has been known for a long time, the Feds notwithstanding.
Always are!.....................
Long Pork and eggs!.......................
I weigh 128 lbs. and I’m slim... And I have type 2 diabetes... And my DNA says I have a gene that makes me prone to type 2 diabetes. Coincidence?
My DNA also says that I have genes that indicate that I have straight hair... Checkmark... And blue eyes... Checkmark. Your DNA is pretty straight up... That’s why they catch murders with it. DNA never lies.
The bypass was more likely necessitated by all the “vegetable” oils you’ve consumed over the years (corn, soybean, canola, etc) than by the bacon and eggs.
I may eat 6 eggs a month. It’s the other crap that’s gonna kill me!
The “Food Pyramid” (and it’s derivatives) are a Crime Against Humanity.
I agree.
Most likely, we quit fried food after the heart attack...................I miss bacon.................
“inherited dietary habits” - LOL
The dietary “habits” I was given as a child are *not* the ones I adopted as an adult, not even close. I had to learn to love many foods I grew up hating (most vegetables) because they were always overcooked, and I never got to appreciate the flavor of any of them. And a meat dish at every supper - who needs that? Twice a week is enough meat for me.
I also gave up eating by the clock, and try to only eat when I’m hungry and what my body wants at that time, even if that time and type of meal may vary by a lot.
The overall cholesterol number has been proven to be a poor indicator of heart health, so why are they banging on about it?
I will keep repeating it: Our current obsession with cholesterol is the modern equivalent of bloodletting.
Any time the pharmaceutical industry wants to scam people they use "releative risk reduction", without which statins look like joke.
The body uses cholesterol as a bandaid for your arteries. Reducing cholesterol makes as much sense as banning bandaids to prevent lacerations.
Going strong at 88?
Leave him the eff alone.
Whatever he’s doing is working.
He probably outlasted half of his doctors.
Opa drank whiskey, smoked cigars, and swam in the pool ‘til the ripe old age of 94. Died peacefully in his sleep, after a good meal, in his own home, with his family around him.
We should all have it that good
How many carbs were you consuming prior to your bypass?
Has your diet changed, since?
Not judging, just honestly curious.
👍🏻👍🏻
“My theory is a lot of that is due to inherited dietary habits, not genes.”
There’s probably something to that, but here’s some anecdotal evidence to the contrary: my father and I lived totally different lifestyles. He drank excessively and smoked. I did not. I always jogged and became an amateur body builder at 28. He died of a heart attack at 58, I had a massive heart attack/cardiac arrest at 59. When I had my heart attack I was eating breakfast and planning my work out for the day. Our diets were also completely different; I have been low carb for probably 20 years. Bottom line, you can’t beat genetics.
For one such example, see:
Before I ate too much bay any standard, and mainly carbs.
We ate out at buffets and had big dinners at home.
I weighed 215 pounds and was a bit pudgy. Went from 34 to 36 waist.
Then came the heart attack, not real bad, no heart damage, thank God.
Had a blood clot in my leg, swoll up like a snake bite and went to the hospital at 3 am with ‘heartburn’ like I was on fire inside.
Was in hospital for nearly 3 weeks.
Lost 30 pounds and back in 34’s and are loose.
Eat only fish and chicken and avoid bread and pasta.
Walk 2 or 3 miles a week...............................
They’re banging on about it because there’s a lot of money to be made selling statins.
A wake up call.
Glad you’re okay and the chicken/fish diet sounds good. And, the walking.
Do you grill a lot? :-)
