[Diabetes-talk] whole milk and cholesterol

[Robert Shelton]

You know, Mike, my mom, a wise and skeptical woman, bought what was on sale
at Safeway.  She told me that Wonderbread was just a big scam.  Gotta love
Mom, gone 12 years today.

Hey Robert!

Do you think Wonderbread helps strong bodies grow eight ways or twelve ways?
In the late '40's and early '50's, the ads said eight ways; then they
changed to twelve. (grin)

Hi Bridgit.  I'm not disagreeing with you.  I don't even much care for milk
of any kind now, but that's just a personal preference.  I'm not smart
enough to know whether skim milk is better.  We fed our boys 2% as a sort of
compromise, but I was raised on 4%, just like every other middle class kid
in the 50/s -- "You never outgrow your need for milk) -- whatever that
meant.  

I do think that exercise has been pretty important for me.  My parents both
had very serious health issues by the time they were my age, and at least so
far, so good.  I can hear Mike already -- "study with sample size of one."
Yes, I know, we all have opinions on issues that our wisest minds struggle
to understand.  

So, I'm going to enjoy the fratitas I smell from our kitchen.  To all, have
a great evening and a great week.

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
