Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I just came up with a new cholesterol epigram I thought I'd pass along. The second half of the last sentence is not quite catchy enough for my tastes, so maybe I can tweak it sometime... Trying to reduce your cholesterol is like trying to apply skin-colored paint to a wound. If you have some fancy painting tricks you'll be delighted not to be able to see the wound anymore. If you have bad technique, but the wound heals anyway, you'll be delighted to find the paint job getting easier and easier. If you have bad technique and no luck with the wound, then you'll be so upset your doctor might try to make you feel better by suggesting you try a new paint company or sue the old one. It really means " trying to reduce your cholesterol by doing anything you wouldn't do if you weren't trying to reduce your cholesterol... " , but that seems too cumbersome for an epigram... :-( It might be better with something closer to " trying to change your cholesterol levels " to be general enough to cover the " savvy " folks playing with different ratios... I guess that would be an alternate version depending on the audience...
