A bad habit for many Malaysians is buying cheap food for meals instead of cooking at home. Eating out is really unhealthy and I've got relatives and family friends who are in poor or subpar health for their ages because of it. Processed foods like the some fish cakes are also iffy, always have that oily layer which need to be washed off.

QUOTE(MAGAMan-X @ Sep 30 2022, 07:51 AM) Check out the YouTube video in post #44, it's a bit long but it will give you a VERY good idea of what cholesterol is, and what is LDL, and what actually causes heart attack. More and more med journals and research are showing that the link of cholesterol and heart disease is weak, if there are even relationships. As I had said, blaming cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming ambulance for causing accidents. I think the medical guidelines have changed more recently for cholesterol lowering medication and instead of narrowly looking at cholesterol or ldl levels, doctors are supposed to assess for overall risk of heart disease before those prescribing drugs. So the sciene has already pushed changes in prescribing guidelines although I don't know if Malaysian doctors are up to date.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30198808/ https://www.nursingtimes.net/news/research-...ase-20-06-2016/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/...20314120702.htm You *might* have a heart attack if you have high LDL, but you WILL have heart disease if you eat lots of inflammatory foods, because that is how atherosclerosis happens.  |
