Actually have had a couple if Drs tell me not to worry about cholesterol. Said it was pretty much BS. That was 6&10 yrs ago. What's next reckon?

The idiots started doing this in the late 60s and early 70s based

on one doctor's unscientific research. You won't be able to put the toothpaste back in the tube though.

A doc friend told me a couple of years ago that cholesterol was a..

racket pushed by the drug companies. He said 20 years ago, the "safe" level of cholesterol was anything under 300, then it went to under 250, then 200, now it's supposedly like 150 and that is pretty much an impossible level to achieve without medication. Drug companies funded the research and continually pressed to lower the acceptable number.

He also said doctors, hospitals and drug companies know there is limited money to be made in cures, the big money is in treatment.

JLD is in great shape

Thin for a guy whose diet includes steak and shake, chili dogs, Melvin's BBq Hash and the like. He eats likes this EVERY DAY.
I asked him one time if he had a problem with blood cholesterol. He said, " I used to, but the doctor gave me these cholesterol pills".

Now I know it doesn't matter what you eat.
I go to the doc for a physical on 3/12. Will be looking for some of those magic pills if we get a bad reading.

He was right and all of this don't eat red meat is absolute crap

Red meat is the best source of the 10 essential amino acids and heme iron. Pork is white meat and it's reputation is not near as good as beef for fat content. Screw the liars. Genetics is what kills you.
