Cross fingers-- I had a 'cardiac event' 10 yrs or so ago. A
stent, some daily meds, and watching [somewhat] what I eat & some
exercise has kept things working fine since. Nothing like a near
miss to make you appreciate what you've got.

I've got none of the others- but had 30pounds of 'gut'- losing that
has made a world of difference.

At this point I'm going with 'if it tastes good, do it. . . in
moderation'. We've gotten so used to the 'I can't believe it's
not butter' stuff that the real butter I got for yesterday's rolls
tasted bland. [the Irish butter I bought for a cookie recipe,
however, was heavenly]
