There was a lot of interest last time this was aired but I was left
with a few unanswered questions...
How significant is the fat in processed Pork slices as I find it a
very convenient source of sandwich filling?
How linear is the response to dose levels? A recent test found 4.2
total (2.4 LDL) for a dose of 20mg. Pre-statins, I had levels of 6.8
and 7.2 total. I would like to drop the dose to 10mg.
I asked how long it takes for the body to return to normal after
stopping medication and was told 2 weeks. I was also told to resume
treatment to double check any noted changes.
I am not a medical expert, but I've read that only about 10% of the
cholesterol in your blood is directly due to your diet, the rest is
internally generated. I could be wrong, of course.
I too have read such. One such 'theory' is for the body to re-balance
excess salt content by wrapping it in cholesterol.
That's interesting. The catering dept. criticise my adding table salt to
their offerings!
