Thanks, Ruth.  I'll try.

After the latest data showing Lipitor interferes with exercise having benefits, and damages mitochondria, I agree it's good to avoid cholesterol meds. On the other hand, cholesterol is very scary. If you stabilize at 5 lbs higher, I'd say just live with that, Lillie.

I was maintaining my weight really well until my doctor put me on a low cholesterol diet.  I immediately gained 5 lbs. on this diet.  Would it be better to be lighter with higher cholesterol or heavier with low cholesterol?  This is very discouraging.  However, I do not want to be put on medication to control cholesterol.

Are the media too giddy over the Pope?

With all the media attention the on the Pope, important stories are being missed, human rights violations, Monsanto protection act, Russia march to blasphemy laws, and of the big story this week did Harry Potter vanquish dementors?See More
