There was a Dutch study that analyzed longevity of known families with familial hyperlipidemia and found that they lived as long or longer than average population. sine 1800-dreds, except the 1930-ties and 40-ties when the diet was skewed heavily towards potatoes (depression and then during the war meat was very hard to buy). I suspect that people with naturally high cholesterol do not tolerate high carbohydrate diets. <br />Stan Stan Bleszynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922719716458272303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040807413744183436.post-73589761476295819262016-06-14T10:09:24.383-04:002016-06-14T10:09:24.383-04:00Good.

I got a blood test because I'm worried about what the hell it could really be- I.B.S. is not a diagnosis in my opinion, but a euphemism for 'we can't find anything.' <br /><br />So I get the blood test, all the stuff I was worried about was better, but there's my cholesterol at 234, and, apparently more of the 'bad' kind than the mainstream would like. Thankfully I didn't have to listen to one of these idiot doctors who can't fix me lecture me about cholesterol.Augusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758314961163692341noreply@blogger.com
