Dear Paleo Pals,
A wee while ago there was alot of talk about saturated fat and heart
disease.
I have a question that I hope someone can help me with...my father is in
his 60's and recently had a heart attack and then as a result had a triple
bipass for clogged arteries in his heart. His cholesterol was quite high (I
think 9 or 10).
Since the day he returned home from hospital he will not eat meat!!!
Because he says all meat contains cholesterol. He is wasting away and there
is nothing my mother or myself can do to change his mind, to vary his diet,
he will only eat lentils, veges, etc.
In one of the postings someone stated that heart disease was an auto immune
disease. My mother and I have the same theory now, but can't base it on any
fact, just feeling. We would love it if someone could:
1. Help us with Dad's diet.
2. Give us any information on heart disease being an auto immune disease,
eg any research, books, web sites, etc.
We would be most grateful.
Toni
