I've been diagnosed with hyperlipoproteinemia Type IV, which basically means if I eat too much starch and sugar, my triglycerides go through the roof. I have to be careful in my diet because if I'm eating to keep my triglycerides under control (it's basically a low carb diet), it seems that my LDL level creeps up.<BR/><BR/>Smart Balance is good stuff. I actually like Take Control better, but it's gotten so expensive lately that I can't recommend it to anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17139371.post-55873982423427775632008-11-19T16:29:00.000-06:002008-11-19T16:29:00.000-06:00Ness,Work some tuna (and/or codliver oil), flaxsee...Ness,<BR/><BR/>Work some tuna (and/or codliver oil), flaxseed meal, and olive oil into your diet on a regular basis, and you won't hear me complain (the total cholesterol number by itself is grossly over-rated anyway); otherwise, I'll subject you to the most severe guilt trip I can muster (I would START with "who'll look after Robb if you're not around?" and "is butter really more important than getting to see little Charleigh-eyed girl grow into a woman?" and then I'd really pull out the stops). Fear the Peltonian guilt trip, for all must fall before it's awesome negativity--MWAHAHAHAHAAA!!! <BR/><BR/>The thing is, heart disease is almost as prevalent among women as men, but it's rarely caught in time in women because nobody ever looks for it for some perverse reason.<BR/><BR/>All that said, I don't know that some butter (assuming it's under a pound a day ;-) ) in your diet is such a terrible thing. I honestly believe it's more healthy than margerine. IMHO, it's the hydrogenated/trans fats, excessive consumption of refined flour and sugar, lack of attention to the correct ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6fatty acids, and the inadequate consumption of soluble fiber that's killing everybody. This can be largely remedied by the steps I mentioned above. <BR/><BR/>Heh! How's this for the height of hypocrisy: have you ever had popoevers or pannakuken with butter and honey? Oh my gosh! It is pure, unadulterated evil and decadence. I keep thinking that I want to try cooking some popovers/pannakuken at the church to see if anybody would like it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17139371.post-41294573768245376912008-11-19T16:28:00.000-06:002008-11-19T16:28:00.000-06:00Dear JasmineI am planning on bringing my butter su...Dear Jasmine<BR/>I am planning on bringing my butter substitute tonight so I can spread it on my AWESOME rosemary chicken sandwich.

The important things are just "how much" and "what is the lipid profile." <BR/><BR/>I think every adult should have their lipid profile checked every year of two to determine the triglyceride component, the LDL component, and the HDL component in addition to determining total cholesterol. <BR/><BR/>But then I'm just opinionated that way. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17139371.post-75867302807841194222008-11-19T12:14:00.000-06:002008-11-19T12:14:00.000-06:00"I'm seriously confused by this and I hope that so..."I'm seriously confused by this and I hope that someone (MCP) can help me with this question."<BR/><BR/>Heh! Cross my palm with silver, oh aspirant to knowledge, and I will see what I can do. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Vegetable oil just means it comes from a plant source rather than an animal source. Mature plants typically store energy as a carbohydrate (starch, sugar, etc) in their tissues; however, a number of plants store oils in their seed (canola) and/or fruit (olives) from which we get various kinds of vegetable oils. I think most generic vegetable oil is derived from soy beans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17139371.post-59437501398611284802008-11-19T11:48:00.000-06:002008-11-19T11:48:00.000-06:00Sadie...i'm delighted that you entered in on the d...Sadie...i'm delighted that you entered in on the discussion.
