Avoid all meat? are you serious? Humans have evolved to be omnivores, so meat (in moderation) is vital to good nutrition.

Insted of avoiding all meat, select meat that is healthier for you. For instance, you might try venison (deer) which is very low in fat and high in protein. It is also high in B vitamins, which help to repair damage to the cardiovascular system and PREVENT HEART DISEASE! Also, because most venison is harvested from the wild, the meat is organic, free from antibiotics, hormones and other chemicals found in farmed meat.

Nonesense. Yes, it is true that the food you have listed are bad for heart and high in cholesterol. However, remeber, that its not the cholesterol that comes from the diet that causes problmems. It is cholesterol that is produced by the liver, that cuases high cholesterol levels. Abstaining form beneficial fats and moderate cholesterol consumption, will force your liver to prooduce 4 times greater the cholesterol levels, that would have otherwise been produced if you have actually eaten the food.

I believe you meant to say “all meat products have very high levels of LDL” not “HDL.”

This should be corrected so that people don’t get the wrong information.

My wife has been a vegetarian for over twenty years, yet she recently had a combined cholesterol level of 260. What are the factors that may be contributing to such a high level?

So,we all should avoid all kinds of meat? If a person should snack alot at nighttime,is that bad? I know someone that eats 2 pieces of toast,4 tomatoes,slice of bread with applesauce on top,he consumes all this within one hour,then goes to bed at 10pm!Dosent this make it hard to sleep at night,cuz you are sleeping on a full stomach!
