Lots of wisdom in your post! Yeah, I have been on statins for almost 18 years now and my body is finally rejecting them due to the pain. Next week I get some kind of expensive shot that will be repeated every six months.
You are right, the cholesterol thing is an obsession with them. My latest was 140 total.
I had no idea grape seed oil was not suitable for high heat cooking. Will go back to Olive oil, thanks!
Learned a lot in this thread including "Travesty" is not a synonym for tragedy like I always thought it was.
