When my dtr was a toddler, she learned the benefits of peeing in the grass. Of course, she was happy to teach her new found past time to any and all friends, and did not exercise proper discretion in use of her new found talent. One day, she chose the church parking lot. I'll never forget the look of horror on one of our elderly deacon's face when he happened upon her... mid stream. He shouted out, "Oh dear, not here" and picked her up, with her panties around her ankles, and trotted across the parking lot, and deposited her in the grass! To make matters even worse, that summer, we had a new pastor candidating to take over as a pastor for our church. He happened to have a little girl about the same age as our dtr. And of course, our dtr taught his daughter All the benefits of country living. Such scandal!

When I am doing daily chores and nature calls, I use the horse stall. There is a riding crop hanging on the door that I use for self defense........... I have a beauty spot under my panties that bleeds copiously if it gets pecked....

Did the church not have a toilet?

Cholesterol that you eat doesn't turn into blood cholesterol.

Carbs that you eat, however do turn eventually into blood cholesterol. From the Wikipedia article on Cholesterol:

Fat intake also plays a role in blood-cholesterol levels. Isocalorically replacing dietary carbohydrates with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats has been shown to lower serum LDL and total cholesterol levels and increase serum HDL levels, while replacing carbohydrates with saturated fat was shown to increase HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol levels.[28] Trans fats have been shown to reduce levels of HDL while increasing levels of LDL.[29] Based on such evidence and evidence implicating low HDL and high LDL levels in cardiovascular disease (see Hypercholesterolemia), many health authorities advocate reducing LDL cholesterol through changes in diet in addition to other lifestyle modifications.[30] The USDA, for example, recommends that those wishing to reduce their cholesterol through a change in diet should aim to consume less than 7% of their daily energy needs from saturated fat and fewer than 200 mg of cholesterol per day.[31] An alternative view is that any reduction to dietary cholesterol intake could be counteracted by the organs compensating to try to keep blood cholesterol levels constant.[32] Other research has found that an increase in the consumption of saturated fats and cholesterol decreases overall serum cholesterol.[33]


Personally the authority I would not trust at all is the USDA. It is slowly becoming a medical research consensus that the current obesity epidemic in the US is a direct result of the food pyramid "eat more carb, eat less fat, take sugar substitutes" advocacy of the USDA.

Yes carbs do raise it. There was a study in the early 70s where people were fed a high processed carb diet and their cholesterol skyrocketed. The study had to be discontinued because they were worried about the health of the participants.

Oh. And our doctor and my husband's specialist both told us to go on a low carb diet to reduce cholesterol a few months ago. It has been effective. I've lost 15 pounds in the two months we've been on it as well and my A1C dropped in half.

I can't believe I admitted that.......ON THE INTERNET no less!!!!

I'm glad you did! I needed that laugh. I don't think anyone can get away with saying they haven't used the great outdoor potty.

 

[minnehaha]

So very true! And I'm glad I made you laugh!
