I eat anywhere between 6 and 14 eggs a week, most weeks.

<keels over>

 

But also, 0.6 (which is my cholesterol level) was considered normal two
years ago

Now it's considered to be high

So the goalposts move as well

 

28...........
And I feel *fine*

When a diet is high in sugar and starches (both of which break down and
produce glucose), the resulting increase in blood glucose levels triggers
the pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin helps turn excess glucose into
body fat and cholesterol. Because of this sugar-insulin-fat connection,
long-term consumption of sugars and starches promote high cholesterol
levels, obesity, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and other risk
factors associated with heart disease.

Good old tony ........wasn't eggs that got him but drink .........

 

I'd expect that to be because they don't live long enough. The fact is that
you have to die of something, and that's why there are pretty high %ages of
death from cancer and heart disease, because so much other stuff that would
previously have killed is curable. Most animals die of starvation before
they get to the point of getting proper illnesses - for exactly the same
reasons as 40 year olds can't beat 20 year olds at football.

 

We just switched to Purina from Hills for our MC, and Purina senior for the
other 3

 

Your MC doesn't have "the MC heart problem" does it?

Err, what would that be then?! She's two, and we've only had her a year.
She's insured though luckily!

 

Cardiomyothapy.
Seems it's a common thing with the breed.
Our chap has it, luckily he is insured too.

Ah, just got the wife to look it up. She's an ex. Veterinary nurse of 15
years, and she hadn't heard of it being an exclusively MC thing. Apparently
the symptoms can present from about 4 years old on. We'll keep an eye on
her, but it's not worth the hassle of testing for it. After all, you can't
really prevent it, only treat the syptoms if they present themselves.

 

This is true.
Our chap has been given around 5 years until he expires.

Go on then, what's wrong with fruit for breakfast...

 

I imagine it's not overly wonderful if you are diabetic as Mr Hog stated
he is two posts previously in this thread. I took that as the context
for his subsequent comments but hey I'm probably being whoosed yet
again.

 

Probably not, I'm not reading thoroughly having been away for a few
days. My perspective is fruit for breakfast is fine and dandy.
