Furthermore, do you know fully what is in those mass produced taco shells? They could very well be "heart healthy" and still be poison. Speaking of that - you know that exposing grape seed oil to high heat, like frying, is bad right? It's edible but it's not suitable for high heat cooking.

I went low carb, eat tons of protein and fats, and my cholesterol and blood pressure went way down. I quit 3 medications.
Mostly because I quit listening to my doctor. I ate healthier. And I still hit the local pizza buffet about once a week. I'm not some diet slave.
Fat is good for you, not bad. Artificial fillers, preservatives, and processed garbage is garbage. High sugar is horrible for you. Alcohol, in large amounts, is horrible for you. You are less likely to get cancer if you smoke regularly than drink regularly and I was as big a drinker as anyone can be. I enjoyed my boos but I'm healthier now at 50 than I was at 30.
