[Diabetes-talk] whole milk and cholesterol

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

On the milk subject, I've always drank skim, and I've always been
underweight. So... Seems it may depend on the individual.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] whole milk and cholesterol


As a kid growing up on the farm I had lots of whole milk and was never 
overweight--maybe just a bit crazy and hyper. Still less than 50 pounds
at 
age 8.
As for the cholesterol issue, recently my doctor put me on atorvastatin,
10 
mg daily. I noticed that my blood glucose levels increased and I lost 
energy. Co-incidentally, a couple of weeks ago I came across an
interview 
with Dr. Steve Sinatra and Johnny Bowden who co-wrote a book entitled
"The 
cholesterol myth". They discussed the fact the statins reduced co-enzyme
q10 
in the body and increased the BG levels. Checking the net, I did find
quite 
a number of discussions regarding these facts. My LDL is fantastic, 49,
HDL 
54, but I am having to increase my insulin dosage and now supplement
with 
co-Q10. And my LDL wasn't that bad before, only 105. I think I'm going
back 
to no statins for myself. It will cost less and I wasn't feeling that
bad. 
Again, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
Grant
