[Diabetes-talk] whole milk and cholesterol

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I agree about milk, grin. But like I said, it varies from person to
person just like most things do. I think these discussions and studies
are good, but at what point do we just live?

And I'm off to do a little exercise now that Baby is down for the night,
smile.

Have a wonderful week yourself.

Bridgit

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
