Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Thanks, guys, for the words of encouragement.
New So did the doctors argue with your near perfect diet?
You have the widest assortment of nutrition of anyone I have ever seen and it almost always leans towards what is supposedly good for you. It amazes me with the amount of complexity and effort you put in to a recipe. I'm sure the people you serve it to in your various gatherings appreciate it.

So did the doctors review this and tell you to change anything?

5 years ago I went for a full cardio work up. Chemical stress test along with echocardiogram along with whole bunch of stuff. A week later I get my results and the doctor says keep doing what you're doing.

I say great, steak and potatoes and two packs of cigarettes every day. Yeah I know the cancer will get me. But it seems that my terrible diet is good for my heart.

Speaking of which, I sous vide two corned beef briskets for the last two days. Three element recipe. The corned beef, the packet of spice that came with it, and a cup of beef broth.

I took it out at one day and cut one in half and decided that it could go for another day. So I resealed it up and tossed it back in.

After 2 days I took out a half and fried all sides for about a minute at 400° and sliced it as thin as I could. I just got new knives so I can slice really thin.

Best goddamn corned beef I ever had in my life. Easily equals my high-end Jewish deli around the corner that I grew up from and is the standard that I measure all others.

I have hit corned beef special n yo coming up irvana and now I got a whole bunch of it in the pipeline.

That s*** is supposed to kill me. It's worth it. To me.

So anyway, glad you're back doing well as opposed to merely hanging on.
New I asked a number of times . . .
. . since my diet is so much better than the average American diet, I avoid sugar like the plague, and don't eat processed foods, how come I have these problems you're telling me I have.

No answer or explanation was offered - the question was ignored.
New Bodies are complicated.
My step mom had amazing cholesterol numbers, total ~ 130 mg/dl and nearly all the good stuff. Women in her side of the family often lived to be over 100. My father ate the same diet she did, always had cholesterol at 200 mg/dl.

(They both died of cancer - he from uveal melanoma that spread, she from cancer of the bile duct (a kind of pancreatic cancer) that spread - the same cancer that killed her father.)

Bodies are complicated. Genetics plays a big role, and I suspect that what may be a good diet for us when we're young and vigorous may be bad for us when we get older (IOW, there may be an age aspect in addition to exercise, weight, environment, etc.)

There's still so much that we don't know, even as we learn more every day. E.g. thread on Luvox and caffeine. Even information that is out there often doesn't get to the people who need it.

Best of luck you and to us all going forward!

Cheers,
Scott.
