Re: Why is it ?
Bakerman,
l always say that about food. All the nicest stuff is bad for you..... but l still eat it (in moderation) and take my chances. I can’t give up proper block butter ever! Like you say, if it shortens your life, Tough, l haven’t done so badly health wise up to now.
My cholesterol at 5.9 isn’t good but the doctor tells me l have good cholesterol. He said, because my high cholesterol is hereditary (like his) reducing fats will really not make it lower.
He did edge onto me to consider taking statins but l refused. I have heard too many horror stories about those.
Some people don’t eat the foods that we like but they don’t mind stuffing themselves with low fat, chemical and additive ridden food which is worse (I think)
Some smoke and fags are lethal to your health.
You need fat to cushion your major organs like your brain and your heart.
Like Barry says, all things in moderation.

Re: Why is it ?
Artangel, like you I resisted my docs advice regarding statins simply because my cholesterol levels at the time were below average. However, having talked it through with another health professional, I decided I would go on them because of the other benefits they provide like reduced incidence of heart attacks and strokes (both my grandfathers suffered multiple strokes from their late 60s until their final demises in their late 70s/early 80s).Yes, there are horror stories out there but I can only tell you that, in my case, I haven't had any side effects whatsoever from taking them. In V's case, she had to try 2 or 3 different statins before she found one that suited her best.

Re: Why is it ?
I'm sitting here reading this and thinking .... aside from the fact that the tastiest yummiest food is usually bad for us .... or whether we leave it too late to change bad lifestyle habits or vices (like smoking) ... it's sad to end up trying to eke out our existence to live another day, precious as we might think that day is.Whatever you do ... one day it is a certainty that you will die.
