Week 2 of being "MISLED"!

Good morning my friends . . .

So, last week . . . we discovered . . . some important information on our "blood pressure" . . . and how we're being "misled" about that issue . . .

Well . . . this week . . . let's continue and talk about our "cholesterol" number!!!!

Are we being "misled" about that also???

Well . . . DID YOU KNOW . . .

Years ago . . . the "rule of thumb" for "acceptable" TOTAL cholesterol was . . .

"100 plus your age" . . .

Just like our "blood pressure" . . .

Meaning . . . if you were 70 years old . . . plus 100 . . . you're TOTAL cholesterol would be . . . "170" . . .

AND . . . in the 1960s and 1970s . . . NORMAL "total" cholesterol levels . . . were often listed as HIGH . . . if you were over 150 . . .

That's right my friends . . .

So, what the heck has happened since then???

Why were our guidelines for TOTAL cholesterol numbers "elevated" to . . . "200" . . . instead of keeping it at "150ish"???

Well . . . this was due . . . pretty much like everything else in the U.S. . . . to the "fast food industry" . . .

You see . . . the "love" of this Western diet . . . and all its high Omega 6 fatty acids . . .

Has left us in a world of hurt . . . both physically and mentally!!!

And with this . . .

Our government found that our LDL (bad cholesterol) . . . was "outweighing" our HDL (good cholesterol) . . .

And decided to "again" . . . put us all in a "cookie cutter" world . . . and "raise" this guideline number . . .

Because WE ALL . . . are out of control . . . with our Western eating . . .

But, in reality . . . NO MATTER what formula is used to calculate our TOTAL cholesterol . . .

Cholesterol levels . . . should NOT be put in a "cookie cutter" mold . . .

Because our AGE makes a difference!!!

And that will never change!!!

So, why are we all being put in this "cookie cutter" guideline of "200" for our cholesterol???

Well . . . tomorrow let's talk about that . . .
