[Diabetes-talk] whole milk and cholesterol

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Well, yeah, but even when I was a kid. My family was always active, and
I danced, but I was considered underweight despite that.

Yep, but you exercise, as I'm sure Grant did growing up on a farm -- all
kinds of exercise.

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

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
