There are people who have been preaching the whole foods thing for years. Its really good to hear a cardiac surgeon do it as well.
My doctor has a hard time believing my diet and my test results match. I eat a diet of mostly farm based local foods, very little processed foods. Lots of grass fed beef, lamb, farm fed pork, vegetables and some fruits. I drink raw milk. My cholesterol was 192, triglycerides: 123 and my HDL:LDL ratio is 6:1. Much better than my brother does who ended up on statins for high cholesterol. I'm embarking on an interesting experiment starting tomorrow. 1-3 weeks (haven't decided how long yet) of only drinking raw milk. Maybe a bit of water, but up to a gallon of whole, non-processed in any way whole raw milk per day. I'll be blogging about it.
