[Peachie]

Here goes; a multivitamin, Biotin, Lecithin, B-Complex, Chromium Picolinate, Omega3/Omega 6 Fish Oil, Calcium w/vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and garlic. Crazy, huh? I may have subscribed to that health magazine for too long of a period.

I've never been much of a red meat person or any type of meat for that matter. I try to eat it here and there but never was wild about the taste of it. (Grew up on a beautiful Midwest farm and there was always meat on the table, go figure...) Mr. Peachie needs to monitor his cholesterol levels, my Dr. would like to bottle my cholesterol and sell it. My Pre-Meno total number was around 144 with very high "good" cholesterol and very low "bad". My total number is still under 200 but "good" cholesterol has maintained it's edge. If sugars were the healthiest food on the planet, I would live forever! (Please pass the cookies. ;D) My nemesis may be adult onset diabetes which is in my family. (I'd like a double dip chocolate, pecan in a waffle cone please.)

Graciegirl, I am happy to hear about the successful treatment of cancer in your family. Don't you wonder why women are subject to uncomfortable mammograms that expose us to more radiation and aren't alway accurate when there are far more accurate, less painful methods available but they cost too much to serve women better? That says a lot about the healthcare system in our country, IMHO. Thanks to medical care going public, everyone is out there waiting to make their investment money with someones' health lying in the balance.

I also am very skeptical of the hormones used to treat milk producing cows to boost production and our family doesn't believe in using them. You cannot ship milk from a cow that has been injected with an antibiotic until it clears the cows' system so I'm not thinking much of the hormones. :cop:, sorry topic cop, but then is this off-thread or not? I thinking we're talking health here.... :dontknow:
