Hi all,You have pretty well confirmed what my personal research had found, It is not possible to get e real smoked meat sandwich in the atlantic provinces. I too had a stroke in 2002 and a major heart attack in May 2006 but I would still and probably will take the train or plane some time soon just to get one in Quebec city at Bryons with fries and a beer. It's as good as it gets! The list of my meds is too long to post here, and we all gotta go sometime; smiling. Jake [ 27 November 2006: Message edited by: Jake ]

Holy cow! You're still alive after all that? I've cut butter entirely out of my diet, and I only use Becel Light cooking oil when I infrequently use oil. Yet my cholesterol is still high - I continue to eat eggs, snow crab, scallop, the occasional pizza, and red meat, so I guess that's why.
Not me. I was kidding about my eating like Elvis. I think Elvis might have had a slightly larger skeletal frame than my own, but not by a lot. I tell people I'm taking pills for cholesterol, and they're suprised bc I'm not overweight. Jobs where you sit a lot are health risks as far as I'm concerned. Hey, they're telling me to eat cereal with some special ingredient to counter cholesterol buildup, and I've forgotten the name of it already. I think Regis Philmon mentions it in a TV commercial. I'll get back to you when it comes to me.

The ingredient I was trying to think of is, Psyllium fiber and comes from Plantago ovato, or plantain plants, and is grown mainly in India, Spain and France. PSYLLIUM FIBER ALL-BRAN "Guardian" with Psyllium or All-Bran Buds with Psyllium I guess you can get it in capsule form at a health food store, and it's an ingredient in Metamucil (blech?) as well. quote: If your blood cholesterol is high, clinical studies have shown that eating cereal with 3 grams or more of psyllium fibre every day as part of a healthy diet could lower your cholesterol by up to 10% in as little as 4 weeks† nutrition study
It sounds like you don't have to eat as much cereal with psyllium to get the same effect as other fiber-containing cereals without psyllium. quote: How does psyllium fibre compare to oat bran and oatmeal in lowering blood cholesterol?Psyllium is a more highly concentrated source of soluble fibre than either oat bran or oatmeal. Psyllium has eight times more soluble fibre than oat bran. This means that you don't have to eat as much of a food that contains psyllium fibre to have a cholesterol-lowering effect.

By the way, Boom Boom, olive oil is GOOD for cholesterol. I don't mean cooking with tonnes of it or pouring vats onto salads, as it is oil aka fat, but there is no reason you can't have a small quantity every day. It also helps absorbtion of vitamins and minerals in vegetables (any oil does that, but some have drawbacks for people with circulatory problems or a risk of them). It is also damned tasty. There are pizzas in Italy with nothing but a bit of olive oil, sometimes plain tomato sauce, rosemary or basil, garlic. Such pizzas are not at all bad for the heart, especially if made with organic unbleached or wholemeal flour.
