As a dear cardiologist used to say: We can control the diet, we can control blood pressure and cholesterol with medications, but there isn’t a damn thing we can do about genetics.
“there isn’t a damn thing we can do about genetics.”
I could have told them that. My father and I had totally different life styles as far as diet and exercise. He died of a heart attack at 58, I had a heart attack at 59 that I survived after 11 minutes of CPR and two AED shocks. I agree, you can’t beat genetics.
We can now. Gene replacement therapies.......................
The anti-cholesterol jihad is modern medicine’s version of bloodletting.
