35. It is the crap, not the fat

More and more evidence is pointing to that fat is good - butter, meat and eggs!. What is unhealthy are the simple carbohydrates - bread, potatoes, grains, sweets, anything with high fructose corn syrup. And I have found that eating more eggs, cheese, and butter, that I am rarely hungry so I don't eat the crap.

For decades, my doctors keep trying to prescribe statins. I have always said no because while my total cholesterol is high, I also have very happy HDL the good cholesterol, and very very low triglycerides. Besides, statins have serious side effects.
