Dumping either sour cream <I>or</I> cheese is probalby sufficient. <BR/><BR/>And did I mention lowering your LDL doesn't prevent cardiovascular problems? It's just the super-dense lipoproteins that matter.

Do you want me to find you the article? It's basically only a very specific lipoprotein that seems to be any real indicator--they just didn't have a proper test for it back in the day. And there's no good way to lower that lipoprotein via diet.<BR/><BR/>But cutting down on red meat, butter and Jackie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11863386402985710623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463512.post-82289548693841399792008-03-02T13:17:00.000-05:002008-03-02T13:17:00.000-05:00Sympathy.

I don't have the diabetes complication, but the high cholesterol is genetic and enough of my close relatives have died of heart attacks for it to be rather worrying.<BR/><BR/>But do I want to live without cheese?<BR/><BR/>Yep, I just have to not eat a pile of it for lunch every day. I also tend to eat venison and buffalo in place of beef and porkCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328347167113836522noreply@blogger.com
