Fighting Cholesterol.....

Also the generic brands taste just as good, just the corn flakes tend to be smaller.

I'm eating a bowl with milk (skim) as I post this.

Can't do the cabbage though. Give me the wind something terrible.

I switched over the skim milk about 5 years ago and find that I don't miss 2% or whole milk any more.

Still don't use it on cereal, don't see the point all it does is make it cold and eventually soggy.

I'm convinced that man's body is not designed to digest food that's prepared in oil at least not in his entire life. Fat is already in the meat even in fishes. Cooking oil or some use butter sometimes is just an effort to make cooking easier and manageable without getting the food sticky.

It would be a lot better to cook without cooking oil altogether. Some special frying pans are designed to cook without having to use any cooking oil at all.

It's stupid to cook with cooking oil and then to consume the cooking oil as part of the meal. The fat and oil get saturated soon enough.

Edit: In case of older people their metabolism became slow enough so that cholesterol would build up despite a relatively good diet.
The only way to delay this or avoid it altogether is to slow down the metabolism slow down by embracing an active lifestyle. Get out and get sweaty. Cardio, plus some lifting if you like, swimming, tennis, etc will not only make you look good but helps the metabolism. After all we only have one life and one body might as well make it to look as good as we could. At least until we are given a new one post death and from the sneak peak it would be Godly lol I wonder what women would like if the man was like Godly. . .too bad no one marries anyone there lol

I've even gotten to the point that whole milk smells and tastes like it's starting to turn.

Thanks Undersea! Personally my doc was extremely happy and told me to just keep doing what I have been doing and to excersize more (I got 2 kids - how can he NOT call that excersize?) and so all is good.

I actually started this for anyone else who might be in the same battle - and it turns out I picked up a few extra tricks I can use - all without having to change my "meal" diet - which I would struggle with alot. The snack changes are easy though!

Funny you should say that at work the other day we had a quart of whole milk in the refrigerator. I always sniff milk to see if its spoiled if its close to its sell by date, and this smelled like its about to spoil but I wasn't sure so i had to ask someone to sniff it for me! He said it was fine.
