Three years ago I had to stop taking Lipitor because of incredible memory
loss and unbearable severe muscle cramping. Since then I followed a good
diet of with little fat except for eating about 1/2 pound of salted peanuts
in the shell which I estimate gets me about 1/4 pound of peanuts and a
couple of beers. I'm about 6' 4", 195 lbs in good shape, and general ride
bike 12 to 20 miles every few days when the weather is good.
For breakfast I have oatmeal with 1/2 cup 2% milk fruit and an ounce of
walnuts, half banana, 3 strawberries or blue berries on top, cranberry juice
and green tea. Lunch is 3 to 4 oz poached salmon, 1 1/2 cup fresh veggies
with a little Smart Balance and salad greens with a couple tbsp of dressing
like Green Goddess. Dinner varies from a bowl of soup to a burger, fish,
veggies or a salad. My cholesterol went up gone up.
Total 239
LDL 176
HDL 49
TRIG 71
Then I tried Antara 130 mg for a month and the results are below.
Total 214
HDL 53
LDL 150
TRIG 56
My wife has a pamphlet from ACOG on cholesterol that recommends a low fat
diet and has two columns. One suggest foot items to Choose More Often and
the other Choose Less Often and din the latter column I see all the known
such red meat eggs, etc and included are peanut butter, peanuts, nuts and
seeds.
I've googled looking for negative info on peanuts but find nothing, however
I'm curious if anyone knows if peanuts can be the culprit.
tnx
