Don't worry Sid. My grand-dad worked at a meat packing plant for 45 years. It was the only place he ever worked. He had meat at every meal. It was not a meal if there there was not meat in his mind. His cholesterol was never above 180. My dad loves meat & dairy and and his cholesterol is never above 160. My cholesterol never goes above 170.
On the other side is my father in law. He was skinny, rode a bike an average of 200 miles a week, and made the commitment to eat low cholesterol food. His doctor did a one month test of no cholesterol meds. His shot up to over 600. Only modern drugs kept is levels low.
There is no history of high blood pressure, heart disease in the family. My dad will be 82 in a few weeks. He is fighting leukemia, but has made it 14 months past what the Dr. figured he would survive.
Moderation in all food is the main key. Easy to say had to do.
