"They have been linked to clogged arteries"

Can someone please tell me how this works?

Does it go a different route to normal food and straight into my arteries?

don’t remember my gran cutting the fat of the bacon/meat.

We have a high fat diet, butter/ lamb/bacon/cheese etc, no processed :poop:.

Later this week I'll making a chilli with 20% fat beef mince.

I have half a kg of 80/20 mince for lunch 2 or 3 times a week - pressed out into a big pyrex dish, bit of salt, some water - hot oven. Sprinkle some cheese on it for the last few minutes. Takes about 35 minutes and it's like having a massive burger without any of the crap.
Then that's me done for the day. The rest of the days it's beef skirt done the same but with a bit more water to make gravy, or a fried steak. This was last night's one;

I don't usually photograph my food, but my lad brought it round for fathers day - 12oz sirloin - would only fit diagonally

"cholesterol"

It's all bollocks to get you onto statins.

mother-in-law was over 8, lived well into her late 80's.


Many years ago, I used to do a bit of running, for self about 4 times a week.
I was a svelte as a racing snake.

doctor said, your cholesterol is high, near 6, you need statins, I said, I'm running 4 times a week, maybe my diet needs altering etc. , nope, he said statins.
I didn't bother.

So, 5 was "normal" back then, now I believe it's 4?.

In the last 10 years its been lowered to a stupid level where they have a much bigger drug catchment... as we age its very unlikely to have cholesterol under 6 so these numbers only suit the pharma companies.. but nothing to be said about rocketing cancer levels from taking drugs for years on end👀

Do you know how they classify what's normal? It's a running average from tests - the median becomes the new normal.

So 'normal' is getting further and further away from 'optimal'. Meanwhile illness is increasing. Don't need to be a genius to work out why.
