I used to wonder why all of a sudden about 30 years ago there started to be so many Alzheimer's cases. Then I read that our brains need cholesterol to function properly and a lightbulb went on. High cholesterol became the disease du jour in the late 60s. First they said to stop eating eggs. Then they started in with cholesterol medications, so I guess it takes about 25 years for those drugs to do their worst, and there continue to be a lot of people who think that's a life saving measure because their doctors said so.
The guy I used to get hay from was taking some cholesterol med and it made his knees hurt so badly he could hardly walk. I suggested maybe it was time to quit the medication, but no, he didn't think that was a good idea.
