Bear in mind the amount of crap a child can eat.....when i was a child it was breakfast of any cereal (eg frosties with full fat milk

About a year back I was diagnosed with a heart condition called “stable angina” also called “exertion angina”.

daft question..... Cholesterol..... does the body only produce bad or good Cholesterol?
Hi, i was wandering what sort of cholesterol the body produces. As i had a thought today , if you have high bad Cholestorol... isnt that caused by the intake of food, that if you had family based high cholestorol, wouldnt it be high good cholesterol??..... isnt high bad cholesterol a sign of bad diet
