Is Butter Really Back? What the Science Says
My bad, I thought you said 129, but 29 is incredibly low and usually only happens if someone has cancer or some liver disease - you really ought to check if it's been dropping over time.
(unless you're on a medication that's making it that low, this not a good sign I'm sorry to say)
Seriously I'm not being a jerk or anything, please see a doctor if your LDL is that low.
Unless you're using mmol/L instead of mg/dL, but then it would be very very high.
Hopefully you just made a typo!
They were arguing over which foods were healthy and unhealthy around the time I was born. I suspect such arguments will continue after I am dead.
I eat butter. I eat eggs. I eat bacon. I don't even exercise that much.
I'm 45, almost 46.
My HDL as tested a month ago was 46. My LDL was 29. My Triglycerides were 121.

That's a great result! But the question is whether food makes it go up or down in the blood.
A single number cannot show us. So while you have a good result it does not prove whether or not foods make blood cholesterol rise or not. We need two measurements (or more) and compare them.
You would need to compare a before and after blood result of you eating a non cholesterol diet for a week at least. That's what these studies show, cholesterol goes down when people stop eating it. And up when people do eat it. The same will happen to you because that happens to everyone tested. Unless you are one of the X-men
You're lucky to have naturally low cholesterol. 14 million people last year were not so lucky.....

Tbh it's important to stay well hydrated after a big night out.

Yes, perhaps I've jumped the gun there
I don't deny what you say. But I also think you hurt your own cause with the pretext, "Any of you cholesterol deniers need to watch to the end."
Can't you be anymore seductive than that?

I heavily edited my comment because it came out much harsher in text.

Sounds like you've been thru a lot. I can only wish you well.
I used to suffer from nephrotic syndrome, I nearly died in my teens. I had ulcers opening up on my skin, my joints so swollen they would not bend. Daily blood tests etc. A plant based diet saved my life and as you can tell I can not stop telling people about it.
It seems to solve almost every western chronic disease. And even though the science backs it up clearly doctors and the public see it in the same category as homeopathy. I don't know what is keeping you so ill but I can tell with confidence that if you eat the ForksOverKnives.com way you will have more time at the very least. I can only encourage you to try it for a week or two and feel it for yourself.
I've been living on borrowed time for a long time. I'm reminded of it every day. I'm not afraid. I only have now to live. How about you?

I'm yet to hear of anyone turning away paramedics as they feel the crushing pain of a heart attack. All of a sudden they seem to care a lot ;-)
Also it comes out of tax money and I'd much rather my taxes be used for education/tech instead of treating people who cbf avoiding an easily preventable disease. Some people are literally eating away funding for education in that sense.
Does it matter if one doesn't care?

USDA: Eggs are NOT Healthy or Safe to eat
And that's coming from the government body responsible for promoting eggs. You gotta wonder just how bad they are for us. With the cholesterol of two burger King whoppers it's definitely not a health food regardless of any other nutrients that might be present.
You cant legally call eggs nutritious.
Idiocracy.

Blocked.
Even now you are baiting for more conflict . Please ask a loved one for help.

....says the person who only writes/argues about the exaggerated benefits of being vegan and literally nothing else.
USDA: Eggs are NOT Healthy or Safe to eat
You have some serious psychological issues and I hope you can find the time to work on them. I feel bad for you that you create conflicts and arguments as your primary form of human interaction.
No, because you didn't specify "terrestrial", or "single cause", or "currently", or "intentional", or "not including habitats degraded to the point of collapse but not overtly destroyed".
I added a number of qualifiers to make it possible to agree with your statement.
Did you even read what you wrote?
Did you read the paragraph that came before what you cut and pasted? *facepalm
Btw, I wrote that, I only cut and pasted the wiki, which I did read. I get enough proteins that my brain functions enough to think for myself, but thanks for the compliment of thinking I copied from a professional writer.
LMFAHS!
USDA: Eggs are NOT Healthy or Safe to eat
Do you even read what you post/paste? You're agreeing with me you petulant individual lol.
Today creating space for farming is the major single cause for the intentional destruction of terrestrial habitats, but not historically.
...but what do you care? GET YOUWA AZZ TO VEGA!
USDA: Eggs are NOT Healthy or Safe to eat
Guess what causes the most habitat destruction? Growing crops to feed FARM ANIMALS. This is not a vegan thing, it's scientific consensus amongst environmental scientists.
I'll again refer you to Dr. Richard Oppenlander speaking to the EU parliament if you care to find out more instead of just getting triggered.
Um....earth dollars are fine to fund your trip off earth....you'll have to get your own Vega spending money.
Extinctions today are 99% from habitat destruction, not the bush meat trade.
Eat some protein, your brain isn't working
USDA: Eggs are NOT Healthy or Safe to eat
Earth dollars are no good I'm afraid :-)
They will be worthless since the people of earth are eating their way to extinction. (see Dr. Richard Oppenlander speaking to the EU)
Do you guys have a go fund me?
F-18 Criticisms in the 80's mirror those of the F-35 today
That was about 4 years ago as they were fine tuning the fly by wire system. And the sensationalist media which thrives on reader outrage took the story and spun it for clicks/views. People love to hear about military over spending just as this video from the 80s shows.
In recent dog fights, the pilots praise the F-35 greatly.
The F-35 was doomed from the start when different branches wanted different things. Vertical takeoff, stealth shielding, etc.
Recent dogfight tests have shown it loses to earlier jets. Too many compromises hurt it's ability to be a great fighter.
