Have we been sold a bill of goods? Quite possibly.
How about an even a bigger con job than Covid 19 and wearing masks.
My Mother and MIL lived into their mid or high 80’s with high levels of killer C.
I have had killer C levels until last fall, and now it is normal. I will be 82 at election time. I walk and stretch.
My wife is 80 with killer C levels and HDL levels like a top athlete. She walks and does stretching exercises.
My wife is a great non professional chef. We live on a low carb diet that is basically the Mediterranean way.
Our Breakfast has smoked salmon and cheese fresh fruit/veggies. Lunch is often leftovers from dinner the nite before.
Dinner runs from salmon or some ocean fish/seafood a couple times a week, to grilled chicken, lamb one night and steak one night, and boneless pork loin. Hamburgers about 2X per month.
In the summertime, she prepares a salad with diced meat or seafood or I grill something for the salad.
In the winter, we have soups from scratch or her cookie sheet/parchment paper with the protein and veggies cooked in the oven at 450 degrees for about 30 minutes.
I fix omelets about 2x a month for dinner and leftovers for breakfast the next day.
Our weight has been basically the same over the years.
Our siblings are in their late 70’s and active. Their killer C levels are higher than ours. They are evolving into our diet styles and still do a fast food about once a week and steak once a week. Bacon and eggs are their breakfast most mornings.
Their FP/IM docs can’t believe that they haven’t died from Killer High C levels. My wife’s bros are like her with great HDL levels. Her younger brother still fits into his Army dress blues from the Nam area and plays tennis doubles a couple of times per week. Their sitting pulse rates are a little higher than cadavers.
It is obvious that their DNA and life styles don’t need to worry about eating real food.
Wow—sounds great. I’ll be right over!
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Strange, but the indoctrination I’ve been fed for so many years is hard to discard.....like eating butter.
