Avocados can help lower LDL levels while raising the amount of HDL cholesterol in your body.
100% of the people who have eaten Avocados have died.
Beans...beans
Good for your heart
The more you eat
The more you fart
The more you fart
The better you feel
Eat beans at every meal
Met ol’ Wilford at the Alta Ski Resort in Utah years ago. Happened to sit across from him in one of the restaurants for a noon bowl of chili. Nice guy and just like he appears on TV. Also saw him a few other times on the slopes.
You have no idea. I can eat one either before or after every meal. They’re so good.
LOL! We used to say”
Beans, beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot,
The more you toot, the better you feel
So let’s have beans for every meal!
My grandpa loved to say (at the dinner table)...eat EVERY bean and pee on your plate. Never got old.
His brother Sterling is one of the finest examples of the human race I’ve ever had the pleasure to get to know.
Bacon!
When I first started having my heart problems back in '85, Avocados were a big no-no. Now they're recommended? HA!
I had a triple bypass in '86 and exercised and followed the Pritikin diet religiously (See my upstream post about running into Wilford Brumley). By '90 I was completely closed up again except for one of the bypasses that was 40% open. Since then I'm kept alive through medication.
Heart friendly diet? Yeah, OK. For me, who's been diagnosed with a system that is friendly to bad cholesterol, there's no such thing. So I go my own way.
BTW, my wife has high cholesterol now and eats oatmeal every morning. I don't like the stuff. She's also begun having 4 oz. of red wine a day (began this last week). I like that stuff, so...
..or WILL die.
You know, I heard the SAME statistic! Amazing!
I don’t see Egg McMuffins on the list!?!
Never met the gentleman. IIRC, Wilford lived in West Jordan, UT, or thereabouts, at the time. I lived in Sandy. Alta was a go-to for a lot of the locals, as was Brighton. But that was in the late '80s...
Not Yet!
hmmm I eat almost everyone of these no less than 5 times a week, all its done for me is get the furrowed brow from the Dr.
My heart is in big trouble because I don’t like any of the 10 things listed.
My heart told me it really likes chili, cheese fries.

My wife has tried to foist Salmon on me, and I just cannot stand the taste of it. I don’t do soy, or flaxseed either, but the rest we eat.
I'm not a great lover of seafood of any kind. I'll have the beer-batter Perch occasionally when eating out on Friday, but that's not often and it misses the intent anyway. But when I see the Salmon on the buffet table, I turn away. No thanks!
