Hi Christine

Its interested what you said about your mum and her cholestrol levels. My dad died ( aged 55) suddenly last sept of a heart attack, no warning no nothing. He always followed a strict low fat, low cholestrol diet ( his dad also died of a HA) and he seemed pretty healthy. However, It turned out that when I read the post mortem, his heart was totally clogged with cholestrol, now Im no doctor and I know these things can be hereditary etc etc but I too am sick of reading these reports about how low fat is the way to go - didnt help him, in the slightest !! I dont mean to scare anyone with this, but people need to realise that low fat isnt the answer to everything !!

Because, my dad died in this way, i had my levels checked, luckily they were normal, but give it a few months ( and i will still be on this in few months, cos I cant ever imagine going back to eating the way I did ) and I will have them tested again, whats the betting they are the same, or even gone down further !!!!!!!!

So hurrah for us !!!!
