IS CHOLESTEROL THE REAL ENEMY?
I have found out that cholesterol is really not the enemy. The real enemy is hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup.The drug industry advertises cholesterol lowering drugs on TV all the time with a disclaimer that the drug will not cure or prevent heart disease. Obviously the drug industry is aware that cholesterol is really not the culprit but continues to market useless drugs and to scare the public into thinking they should target cholesterol. The drugs also affect liver function which is where the source of cholesterol regulation takes place in the body further overburdening the already overworked liver with more toxic chemicals from the drugs. Why does the medical industry zero in on cholesterol when other culprits are the problem. Why is heart disease still the biggest killer after all these years and all this research.? Why does the medical industry still harp on cholesterol as the cause of heart disease?

>>>>>>What is considered beneficial for some heart patients is aorobic exercise for less than an hour 3 times a week. I believe the controlled time is a requirement for beneficial results?!. And whether you worked with electronics for a defibrillator manufacturer or the building trade is irrelevant for the respective threads. You don't have to answer any personal questions, but I'm somewhat confused are you retired or disabled? >>>
You're right I dont have to answer, the last thing I need is an agony aunt.
There's always one on every forum isnt there, looks like Ive found the one in this forum.

"fibbing and exaggeration will catch up to you as it appears now to have happened"
I do not lie and I demand an apology. Since I began posting on here I have not yet seen one constructive post from yourself towards any questions. All I have seen is personal attacks on people. This is not what the forum is about and it certainly doesn't need an amateur psycho analyst believing he can work out a persons character and then smudge it, or attempt to. You say that background is irrelevant but thats utter rubbish. Background is experience and if someone experiences something then they have more understanding with many aspects than someone who hasn't. The argument was that electronic components break down and develop faults but you seem adament that this doesnt happen because you are creating an argument out of it. I tried to explain that I have seen this first hand but still you disbelieve it. Perhaps if components didn't break down the crew of Apollo 13 would have landed on the moon. It happens so you just need to deal with it.

**************************************************************
Stick to the subjects and don't characterize my motives to detract from the issues that have been raised. I work everyday, and don't have luxury of idle time that you apparently have and without asking about the inconstistencies you present is not detective work...its recognizing fabrications at most and/or irrelevancy. You consider yourself giving valuable advice on the two subject threads? Others differ with you and have more persuasive arguments in my opinion...you bring in your background as a last resort to be persuasive, but that tactic is irrelevant as I have said...even if one believes your work history which may be true or not.
If you stop thinking of something smart to say, please address the issue as asked: Isn't it the controlled time and degree of aorobic exercise done that is the most beneficial, not just ordinary busy work as you state you do or have done!
Regarding the pacemaker thread: You had stated (no longer on the thread) that you have electronic experience. Almost everyone now days has the computer software education you have indicated you have had. But the issue as I read is not related to writing code software as you claim you have done. The pacemaker as I understand is wired for a fixed rate pulse and doesn't require any programming. The demand type pacemaker notwithstanding...so your code writing experience is not going to help you...who are you trying to impress, fibbing and exaggeration will catch up to you as it appears now to have happened . That sir is what it is about, don't you agree a person can come to the conclusion that you have been a little disingenuous. Thank you.

Yes I have heard that the smaller LDL lipids seem to be more the culprit and your addition to the analogy is perfect.
"Now dig a narrow trench across the middle of the hill to represent damage in the artery
wall. Now tip a large bucket of golf balls down the hill and most of the golf balls will be trapped in the trench. This represents the cholesterol becoming trapped in a damaged artery "
greetings, Ed. I kind of like that analogy. Suppose we extend it by changing to both golf and tennis balls, and saying that the trench is too narrow for the tennis balls. The tennis balls would go past. They correspond to large LDL particles, which some say come from eating meat/fat. The small LDL comes from eating carbs.
That's a theory, anyway.

>>>On another post to establish credibility on a thread about pacemakers you stated you had experience in the electronic's field until 2000 and the company you were with was absorbed by hp. That is inconsistant with the building trade work.. <<<
Now we have someone who fancies themselves as internet detective rather than giving valuable advice, opinions, experiences to people who are asking, which is why I thought the forum existed.
All I will say is that you are wrong and you should think at least two dimensional. I have friends who have four jobs, we are not limited to one. I left school with very good qualifications in computer programming and took up a contract to write applications for Kontron. It was only for a couple of hours a day and most of the software was written at home over weekends. For the money I was paid, I couldn't turn the contract down.
The building trade was in a partnership with my brother. I would drive from Kontron to the location of our current job, get changed and dig in. So, 8.30am - 10.30am was with Kontron and 11am to 5pm was in the building trade.
What will you dig up about me on the internet next? that I had a dislocated toe at the age of 20 perhaps?
