whole foods are different + statins

[Guest guest]

I ran across this quick snip (copyright to some web site).

There is much more to the whole-food issue than this.

Statins are probably effective ;the issue is risk .My sister (12

years older ) takes statins. I hope the Doc's are not risking her

life.I do not try to tell her because she is of the view " I can not

understand this, that is what the doctors are for " . The worry is

that the risk to muscle (think heart) from statins. If you take them

check out the CO-Q10 (co-enzyme Q10 ) deficiency risk and consider

correcting for that .

Whole food is the alternative to statins. It can really reduce

inflammation by hugh amounts.

C-reactive protien is a problem for people who eat the " standard

american diet . "

here is the article:

Eat This and You Won't Gain Weight

Women who eat whole grains and shun highly-processed refined grains

gain less weight as they age, according to a 12-year Harvard

University study of 74,000 middle-aged women who were between the

ages of 38 and 63 when the research began, reports Reuters. Those

with the highest fiber intake, especially from such foods as oatmeal

and whole-grain breakfast cereals, were half as likely as those with

the lowest intake to become obese over the 12-year study period. But

the women whose diets were heavily laden with refined grains, such as

pasta and white bread, gained more weight over time. The results

included the effects of alcohol intake and exercise.

People who eat THIS for breakfast weigh less. Click to find out what

it is.

The big takeaway from this study is that not all carbohydrates are

alike, study leader Simin Liu explained to Reuters. Carbs containing

whole grains are much more filling than highly-processed carbohydrate

products, so people who choose brown rice over white rice or oatmeal

over a doughnut are more likely to eat less--and gain less weight in

the process. In addition, whole grains create a slow, sustained

release of sugar into the blood, unlike starchy grains that trigger a

rapid increase in blood sugar. This slower release is thought to be

beneficial for metabolism and fat storage.

I'm a little thick tonight - maybe every night - but I don't

understand what this article has to do with statins. Statins don't

affect blood sugar as far as I know.

I'm not sure that whole grains lower cholesterol, which is one of

the main benefits of statins, any more than processed grains. If a

food doesn't have any cholesterol or trans fat in it, that food

won't affect any of the lipid levels.

Yes diet and exercise , are recognised by medicine as factors in

cholestoral levels . Yes non-lipids are significant factors in lipid

profiles.

Sometimes we decide to make a deal with the devil. I would take

statins if it was clear I could not get the results needed with whole

foods .
