To Whoa182: I ran all of your "excellent test results" by my doctor and in his opinion, he says it undoubtedly means you're still a virgin. Hey, he said it!!! I thought I would just share that experience with you............
This is a quote from Barry Groves, PhD, author of "Eat Fat, Get Thin":
"Obesity is also noticeably absent in primitive human cultures. The only animal to get fat is ‘civilized’ Man and his pets. And that is highly significant. The reason cannot be genetic or hereditary, as some argue. If it were, obesity would have plagued us for generations. "
So, we are not genetically pre-disposed to having high cholesterol levels. "We are what we eat" would be the more acurate description of how we get high cholesterol. It is dietary and perhaps in combination with a sedintary lifestyle.
Also, Groves says that high cholesterol is not an idicator of cardiovascular problems.
There is a saying about carbs: "A minute in your mouth, a month on your hips." ...... maybe it should be: "A minute in your mouth, a month in your arteries"
I would like to make a comment, don't mean to offend anyone. I am sure most of you have at one time or another experienced those "fwd:" emails from friends with their endless jokes and humorous or religious stories." For me it got to the point, I don't open "fwd:" emails any longer.
I know from time to time, on this forum, we all quote a source, but when it is reprinted and a link here and another link there, it becomes like those emails I don't open...... I know how to look up stuff on the internet, but my objective is to read about other people's experiences. I could easily post 500 links showing cholesterol research, etc....... geeshh!
