In today's Sunday Mail Health there are a number of articles, very interesting!!!
Over the past six months, thousands of you have written to me in response to my articles in The Mail on Sunday.
We read ALL correspondence – your emails and letters help provide topics to cover in this column.
When dozens of you asked why people who aren’t overweight get type 2 diabetes, I wrote in response.
I have very high cholesterol – it runs in my family – and take cholesterol-lowering drugs. My doctor says I should stick to a low-fat diet. But I’ve read a lot about how it is OK for people with high cholesterol to eat full-fat cheese, milk and butter. Can you clarify?
People with genetic high cholesterol – the condition is called familial hypercholesterolaemia – get huge benefit from taking cholesterol-lowering drugs. Whether a low-fat diet also helps depends on the sorts of fats you are eating, and what you would start eating instead of fat.
