I'm eating steak tonight

It's pretty sad when I feel the need to confess to a national audience of high cholesterol sufferers that I am going to have steak tonight. T-bone. It looks really fatty in that shrink-wrap packaging. And I'm going to drink an adult beverage... perhaps several of them. We're having guests over.

I'm pretty sure I will survive this event. But I just wanted to let you all know in case you don't hear from me again.

Golly gee willakers, I never used to worry about this kind of stuff. It's like I have a new hobby or something.

Re: I'm eating steak tonight

Enjoy your steak and stop worrying. I had steak on Saturday, and I'm still here. Besides, the saturated fat will probably do your HDL some good. I would be more concerned about eating a big plate of pasta; with all that starch sending blood sugar levels soaring . At least with steak, that won't be happening.

Good for U, we already had steak tonight. LOL BTW, did U watch World News Tonight? Check out how they are switching their ideas of low fat diets. I'm telling ya, I am doing as I please from now on, they are making us nuts for NO reason!!
***********************************
WNT Article:

Feb. 7, 2006 — The theory that eating less fat can help prevent disease suffered a setback today with the release of a large-scale study that failed to show such a diet lowered older women's risk of breast and colon cancer, and heart disease.

Health researchers are not giving up on the low-fat message, however, and say the new study has too many shortcomings to provide a clear answer on the health benefits of eating less fat.

The new study was conducted by researchers with the Women's Health Initiative, a $415 million National Institutes of Health study of nearly 49,000 postmenopausal women.

They analyzed the health of women who ate a diet lower in fat and higher in vegetables, fruits and grains over an 8-year period. The low-fat group was compared with women on a regular diet.

At the end of the study, the low-fat group did not show a significantly lower risk of developing breast cancer, colon cancer or heart disease and strokes.

Results of the study were published in several articles in today's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
**************************************** *******

My husband also get AARP magazine, there is a great article in there also about higher ups wanting the medical people to STOP ads about meds. on tv, another subject we have discussed here many times.

Have a great nite and enjoy your steak..WE did......
