A lot in today's society seem to not stick with straight. lolBright Raven said:I agree. Meat - beef, fish, chicken, etc - is a big part of my diet. My total cholesterol runs 150 without any medication. I think genetics plays the biggest role in arteriosclerosis. I inherit after dad's family. They all had good arterial health up into their 90s. Dad was the youngest of 11 so a good data set. I don't like processed foods. I stick with it straight just the way I drink my whiskey.
