Sometimes I feel very young here They supposedly lower cholesterol and are loved by cardiologists. According to them everybody would benefit from taking them, damn the side effects. I just had my yearly exam. My LDL was toward the lower end of the normal range while the HDL (good cholesterol) was a little above the high end. The punch line: my breakfast for years consists of garlic, half an onion, two eggs, and a slice of cheese. Supper alternates between chunks of pig or cow with a rare chicken. My veggies are mostly the garlic and onion, with baked yams or squash in the winter. Fruit is blueberries or strawberries that I like to mix in with cottage cheese. A cardiologist would weep. 'The science' has been changing over the years. A friend who was a bit of a hypochondriac closely followed the New England Journal of Medicine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_England_Journal_of_Medicine It isn't some quack alternative medicine publication but he loved to point out how 'the science' could change on a weekly basis.
