if you take any omega-3 fatty acids, flax seed oil and primrose oil in consistent quantities as well excercise regularly you can eat all of that stuff you like.  the problem is those high in saturated fat diets coupled with your fat bellybutton in front of the computer getting pissed at what storch types that will kill you.

Yeah, you read my mind!

My liver already overdoes the cholesterol in my system as it is...add a few of those and....eek!

Sigh...looks...so...good...

NOTHING BEATS A GOOD OLD FASHIONED TOMATO SANDWICH!!!!!!

Well maybe a BLT! Then you get the best of all the world only you use mustard instead of mayo and you are good to go.

If you are worried about cholesterol, there are lots of foods that lower it.  Any food with soluble fiber (whole grain oatmeal, cheerios) or okra (boiled, not fried) will lower it.

Not if you're genecticalluy predisposed to it.  In my family history, our livers just crank out way more than we need.  Battled it via nutrition, exercise (lost 20 pounds, etc)...all that.  Still the same.  One statin made me achey, trying a different one.

But you are right that there are some foods that help.  I consume em, plus lots of Omega-3s and antioxidants!

I had the same problem with Lipitor, went to niacin therapy but even the 'no flush' kind gave me hot flashes.

I cut out almost all red meat and started eating oat based cereal for breakfast, lean fish 3x a week for dinner and lots of green veggies with a regular exercise routine and my colesterol levels on both sides are good.

Lipitor was the easy way, but the aches in my legs and arms sucked.

But what's the point of living then?

BLT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Old Hilts ain't havin no angioplasty. If I have a serious blockage, it's bypass time for me. Angioplasty is like a blowout patch on a wore out retread. Dad had an angioplasty done, 18 months later he had a massive heart attack that did major damage, and ended up with a 5 way bypass. Never fully recovered. No thanks.

Eat to live, not live to eat.

Sure, eating a fourteen pound bacon sandwhich is fun.  But what if you get too fat to enjoy other things, like scuba diving, hiking, etc?

I did Nispan for 8 weeks.  My total cholesterol went up 15 points!  However, it did shove the good cholesterol into the 60s.

I was on Mevcor til a few days ago.  Supposed to pick up a new prescription tomorrow morning.  Another statin but not sure which.  I'll let ya know.
