so yo, and i understand if you dont want to get into it, but...what was the initial cause of the artery cloggage? it might save a life.
Everybody's metabolism is different. There are people that can eat, eat and eat and never gain a pound, but they're arteries maybe clogging just as much as an overweight person. The intake is in large portions, but their metabolism burns it fast which doesn't mean it clears you from the cholesterol you took in. Therefore, you can be skinny, look healthy, but your arteries can just as bad as somebody obese.
Funny shit, I took my mom to Stanford back in 1998 for a heart check up where they put a small camera through your inner thigh and runs through your blood stream (to see if you have clogged arteries). Doctor's quote, "Her arteries are clean as a whistle." And mind you, she's not a big lady, but is a bit on the heavy side. Most health nuts would probably think she'd have clogged arteries just by looking at her.
That's why, I dis-reguard of a lot of comments when it comes to that. We truly don't know unless we been checked up by a Dr.
