Heres a low lost alternative to Statin drugs, which I am allergic to. One fish oil capsul plus one flax seed oil capsul per day. Lowered colesterol from about 230 to 170, proved by blood tests every 4 months. Both are required, either one by itself dosen't seem to do the trick. I don't know or care why, but this is consistant with the health food nuts recommendations.

On the other hand I eat a high fat diet, real butter, lots of red meat, jersey dairy milk with over 5% butterfat, if I can find it. Had ultimate check outs, IE angieograms, no noticeable depostits in the arteries. Excellent circulation.

I suspect they still don't know the difference between symptoms and causes of many conditions. EG type II diabetes. This is a disease that usually results from TO MUCH INSULIN and high insulin resistance. To much insulin CAUSES weight gain. So is being overweight a SYMPTOM or a CAUSE of type II diabetes??? I suspect the overweight condition is a symptom not a cause. Same for a multitude of other diseases.

You are going to die, so live with it. Live well or suffer, your choice.
