[QUOTE="sud5nala, post: 1210458, member: 307629"] High fat [I]everything[/I]. Unless you discover it makes the tummy ache. My BMI is 20, on a diet that is majority dairy. If you find you're lactOse intolerant (unusual in northern Europe), lactAse (enzyme) tablets are cheap. Cream, milk, ice cream, and cottage cheese have lactOse. Other dairy products do not. Atherosclerosis is primarily an inflammatory disease. Fat doesn't clog the arteries. This is mistaken science from 30 to 50 years ago. Statins should be a last resort due to their adverse effects. They sometimes cause diabetes, although admittedly that is infrequent. Don't choose a treatment based on just total cholesterol. The higher the HDL component, the better. If HDL is high (say, higher than 1.5), total cholesterol matters even less. Newer science believes that triglycerides (TG), not LDL, are primary promoters of atherosclerosis. Effective ways to lower both TG and LDL are exercise and lower carb. as the numbers in my signature partly reflect. After a year of lots of walking, my LDL and TG both fell sharply, by 44% and 30%. TG dropped from 1.1 to about 0.70. TG went back up to 1.0, which is still quite healthy. Minimize the intake of polyunsaturated fats. This article in Wikipedia ([URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_oil[/URL]) tabulates the percentage composition of vegetable oils by saturated, mono, and poly. Olive oil, which is something I never use because of its flavor, has a great composition of poly at only 14%. Only a few vegetable oils have a good composition, so consider dairy and meat. The advice against saturated fats we've been given all our lives is all a terrible misunderstanding, for most of us. [/QUOTE]
