Salients;

1. I'm amazed at the number of citizens who hate "big" government, yet take all of their nutrition/medical advice from said government in an unquestioning fashion.

This point makes me laugh every time. So when you buy that organic tomato for $5, who do you think is setting the standards for what makes it organic? Some hippies on a farm in Vermont?

I feel the same way about the police or military. Government haters hate all forms of government - but police departments should be expanded, given more armored vehicles and more laws to 'keep order', and the military should always be grown every year. Spend more on police, but fight the teachers, they are gov't leeches.

Fun Fact: part of the reason that Hostess was successfully turned around is that they extended the shelf-life of a Twinkie from 26 to 45 days, which has had all sorts of benefits for the supply chain, blah, blah...

Are you saying that the shelf-life extension was a change to the supply change recipe rather than the actual recipe?

Statins (Zocor) increase the likelihood of diabetes in heroes.

Salients;

2. There's no such thing as "bad" cholesterol. If you could snap your fingers and have all of the LDL in your system disappear, I suspect there's a fair chance you'd fall down dead.

3. New shit is learned up every day. Turns out LDL particle size/count may be important (small/dense/oxidized(?) vs. large/fluffy/buoyant)

4. The benefit of statins are clear. The publiks know this. What they don't seem to know is that the benefit is clear in patients with existing CVD, the rest is hope (generous) or sales (cynical).

There's no free lunch, especially with medicine. The first rule of Medicine Club is...get off that shit. Now that's not always practical, and you should always develop a sound plan in consultation with your physician, but don't wave the white flag. If there's a chance

PSA: please follow newsgroup rules...Don't like it, don't read it.

(actually, if you don't mind, could you "like" this post? I want to be points leader - not a lot of "wins" lately, would be a nice feather-in-my-cap).

I'll "like" this post if you edit it to add a "spoiler."

Deal?

"All of these nuts could just make phone calls, they could spread insanity, oozing through telephone cables, oozing into the ears of all these poor sane people, infecting them. Wackos everywhere, plague of madness."

One thing that I've learned about risk. You can't tell others what risks they have to assume. The same person out there protesting about a part per billion of something in the water supply is smoking a pack of cigarettes per day.

I know Radio. He works @ T.L.Hanna high school in Anderson, SC. I was a substitute teacher there. If you haven't seen the movie "Radio" I strongly recommend it.
