Sometimes it just doesn't make any sense at all. I do not eat a lot of
fat of any type. I usually trim the fat off my meat. I don't eat a lot
of fried stuff, I dont eat a lot of rich food. My wife, OTOH, eats a
fat laden breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausage and cheese, almost every
day. She eats cold cuts..... salt and fat. She often eats the fat that I
have cut from my meat. She has no cholesterol problem, and I am the one
who had to go for an angiogram that suddenly turned into emergency
bypass surgery.
My older brother had a heart attack at 50. He never had a cholesterol
problem before his attack.
