Just as many people who have heart attacks have so-called "normal" or "low" cholesterol as so-called "high" cholesterol. Total cholesterol is pretty meaningless and not been shown to correlate well to heart health. Interestingly, though, lower cholesterol levels have been correlated with higher incidence of hemorrhagic stroke.</p> <p>Cholesterol is a vital substance in the body. Particularly as we age, lower levels become associated with higher incidence of diseases such as infection, cancer, Alzheimer's and even heart failure. Hence, it's not unusual for cholesterol levels to raise some as we age (as a protective measure.) Of course, statin use is also associated with higher incidence of these diseases, as well.</p> <p>Keep in mind, too, that the LDL number you get from a regular lipid draw is not measured. It's calculated by a not so great formula. If your triglycerides drop (a common occurrence on a low carb diet,) then the formula spits out a higher LDL number. So, that formula tells you nothing much about your LDL number. Nor does it tell you if your body is producing mostly healthy and useful (pattern type A) LDL particles or not so healthy ones that could be associated with problems (pattern type B.) If you have mostly pattern type A LDL particles (a good thing,) a regular lipid draw which calculates LDL is also likely to overestimate the LDL number. A VAP test will not only measure your LDLs, but will also tell you the particle size. If you want to know anything meaningful about your LDLs, get a VAP test. Healthy LDLs are very important and do good work in the body. They are not "bad."</p> <p>A low carb diet higher in fat (especially saturated fat) helps to lower triglycerides, increase HDLs and increase levels of healthy LDL particles and decrease levels of unhealthy LDL particles. But, it can take 6 months or more to see the full results.</p> <p>Remember, too, that the so-called "healthy" ranges for lipids have been lowered several times over the years. They have been lowered by a panel comprised of people with strong ties to the pharmaceutical companies, despite the fact that lowering cholesterol has not been shown to lower incidence of heart disease.</p> <p>Your lipid ratios are a better indicator of a healthy lipid system than simply looking at "total cholesterol." It is more than possible to have numbers outside of the contrived ranges, yet have a healthy lipid system with good ratios and lots of pattern type A LDL particles. Conversely, it is also more than possible to have your numbers all "in range," and yet have an unhealthy lipid system, poor ratios and primarily pattern type B LDL particles. Personally, I'd rather have the first choice, even if it means my numbers aren't in line with the contrived so-called "healthy" ranges.</p> <p>Article:</p> <p>"Enjoy Saturated Fats, They're Good for You" by cardiologist Donald W.

It is always hard to see any animal, stuck in an Animal Control facility, literally facing death, but even as long as I've been doing this rescue thing, the hardest for me to see are the ones who came from a home. They just seem so "shell shocked" and out of their element. It just breaks my heart to see the fear such as I see in several of the ones shown above. Please look at their faces and see if you can possibly squeeze one (or several!!!) into your programs. Please direct all inquiries about these cats to Clayton Co.

When I was growing up, no one in movie or television land even knew where New Zealand was. We got left off many American maps of the world. Now, Peter Jackson's holiday/country home is just up the road from me in Matahiwi, Orlando Bloom gets spotted in Greytown and James Cameron (Avatar) has bought a farm down the road in Featherston. Well, actually two farms, including a dairy farm. Wonder what he's like at milking cows?</p> <p><a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/6349700/James-Cameron-buys-Wairarapa-farms" rel="nofollow">http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/6349700/James-Cameron-buys-Wairarapa-farms</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40132#post-704090 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:55:30 +0000 preciouskitty 704090@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://apps.detnews.com/apps/multimedia/gallery.php?id=13672" rel="nofollow">http://apps.detnews.com/apps/multimedia/gallery.php?id=13672</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40107#post-703759 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:15:57 +0000 Elizabeth 703759@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Crossposting</p> <p>"Cat Miracle Workers Needed!

Sponsor and adopt Conway the movie star kitty may be dead or rescued. It is after 6 am when they start the daily killing. Isn't what I said disgusting.Daily people, who are they, take the lives of precious animals. I feel no understanding towards them. I feel pity for people who do this for a job They need to reframe their thinking as does the city of NY and pet owners.</p> <p><a href="http://itsrainingcatsdogsglixman.blogspot.com/2012/01/1-11-12-look-at-conway-cat-nyc-animal.html" rel="nofollow">http://itsrainingcatsdogsglixman.blogspot.com/2012/01/1-11-12-look-at-conway-cat-nyc-animal.html</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/39849#post-700568 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 07:56:59 +0000 Kilroy 700568@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/01/terrified-dog-found-in-gulf-of-mexico-after-owner-killed-by-drunk-driver/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/01/terrified-dog-found-in-gulf-of-mexico-after-owner-killed-by-drunk-driver/</a></p> <p>Awful, sad story but hooray that the dog was saved. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35999#post-655297 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 18:23:56 +0000 Dee 655297@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yay for Costco and JBS...writing them letters!<br /> by KING 5 News<br /> Posted on June 30, 2011 at 2:02 PM<br /> Updated yesterday at 2:23 PM</p> <p>SEATTLE -- The vice president of Costco announced his company will no longer buy or sell pork from an Iowa farm where an animal rights group recently videotaped severe abuse of pigs.</p> <p>Craig Wilson, Vice President and General Manager of Costco, wrote in a statement Thursday that Coscto has no direct relationship with Iowa Select, the farm where Mercy for Animals shot the undercover video.

In brief, people have been finding maggots/webbing in the food, and pets are vomitting and getting sick with some dying.</p> <p>Yet Purina hasn't recalled due to this issue, how many pets have to DIE first, before they admit the problem? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/39841#post-700482 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 19:49:53 +0000 Mo 700482@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/natural_balance.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/natural_balance.html</a></p> <p>A few complaints (again, no recall, but it should have been quite a while ago!):</p> <p>1. I have two cats with autoimmune disorders and a third with vision loss and recovering from a hernia surgery. Do I really want any of the three vomiting and sick? Absolutely not. I feel that the company approach to this formula change is unacceptable and that consumers should be made aware that there is a change. How are they to know to wean their pets? This is so frustrating since I go to the extra expense of feeding my pets something that is supposed to be better quality than what the average pet owner buys in the grocery store.</p> <p>2. My dog, Zissou has become very sick after eating the Natural Balance L.I.D (Lamb and Rice formula). The proof of purchase # is NBR080432AR exp: 31/AUG/2012.</p> <p>He has been eating this formula for nearly three months but the very day and the first meal from this bag resulted in vomiting and runny stool. It has been deduced with the help of my vet after a near a week of a sick bud that it is the food that is tainted.</p> <p>I would avoid this batch. To avoid future occurrences of this, I am switching brands. After doing additional research, it looks like I'm not the only dog owner that finds this company unreliable. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/39816#post-700091 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 12:11:57 +0000 Arcalian 700091@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnGPuhINAmI&amp;feature=g-vrec&amp;context=G235bfa1RVAAAAAAAADA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnGPuhINAmI&amp;feature=g-vrec&amp;context=G235bfa1RVAAAAAAAADA</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/39797#post-699897 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:12:41 +0000 Elizabeth 699897@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://itsrainingcatsdogsglixman.blogspot.com/2012/01/1412-ramiechipin-for-spay-and-rabies.html" rel="nofollow">http://itsrainingcatsdogsglixman.blogspot.com/2012/01/1412-ramiechipin-for-spay-and-rabies.html</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/39796#post-699896 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:06:55 +0000 Elizabeth 699896@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>This is from Petra who wants to help these 2 kitties at Liberty County Animal Ctrl Hinesville Georgia.
