Good luck in finding a meal plan that "fits" you......  |
Since you apparently know it all, why don't you fill me in!!
Diet most certainly does have an impact on serum cholesterol. YOU do some searches!! Here's a quote directly from the American Heart Association website:
"Cholesterol comes from two sources: your body and food. Your liver and other cells in your body make about 75 percent of blood cholesterol. The other 25 percent comes from the foods you eat.
LDL cholesterol is the “bad” cholesterol. When too much of it circulates in the blood, it can clog arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke.
LDL cholesterol is produced naturally by the body, but many people inherit genes from their mother, father or even grandparents that cause them to make too much. Eating saturated fat, trans fats and dietary cholesterol also increases how much you have. If high blood cholesterol runs in your family, lifestyle modifications may not be enough to help lower your LDL blood cholesterol. Everyone is different, so work with your doctor to find a treatment plan that's best for you."
I just love it when people think they know it all but then open their mouth and stick their foot it it!
