A nice bowl of oatmeal is about 100 times better for you and your cholesterol levels than statins will ever be.  LOL  My 93 year old Pop eats oatmeal probably 5 times a week..... with blue berries, straw berries, bananas, etc.

My natural cholesterol level is 167. I'm right around 90% vegan. If I were to eat a piece of Braunschweiger liver sausage I would literally pass out in around 30 minutes. This is because my level elevates to around 650 while the fats from the livers are in my blood stream. Then my brain can't get oxygen because my blood is full of fats instead. Ploop, out I go. It sounds kind of funny until it is realized that this event is a stroke. Actually any time you feel very sleepy after you eat fatty foods you are having a very mild stroke.

WOW, sorry to hear that Frank.  You have my sympathy.

I eat what I choose.  I haven't had bacon since last summer but when the tomatoes ripen I will eat bacon.  What's the point of life if you can't enjoy what you love?  I don't want to live forever.  I want to enjoy what I love while I'm here.

I eat what I choose.

Same here!  As a country boy I can't imagine not eating pork, eggs and real butter.  The staples of life.  With my wife's poor health I have learned to eat on the "lite" side, but was raised on meat & potatoes daily.....

I can remember breakfast at my Pop's cousins farm.....  whole hog sausage, thick cut bacon, fresh eggs, whole milk, thick slices of home baked bread slathered with real butter, and home fries, hash browns, or potato pancakes.  That was good eating, but we worked our butts off too!
