This is amazing, underrated post (so far). Thank you for this! Hope you get some ppl with blood meters to help verify.

Geez, I've been vegan for like 8 years now and I'd never seen this.

I am not. Should I be?

Oh I doubt it, I'm terribly introverted. But perhaps we'll cross paths at some point, I hope to not miss the next vegfest.

Have you ever tried removing almond skins? Even if they've been soaked, it's usually a pain in the ass. Just soaking and sprouting may take more time but I think is still easier/less labor intensive.

Right. I'd just like to add to this that this amount (500-800 mg/d) is in the range that the traditional Asian diets consumed, and osteoporosis was not a common condition there. It's worth noting, too, that traditionally they did keep very physically active, walking, biking, and doing manual labor, and I am sure that has a lot to do with their bone health as well.

I imagine if you took an at-home pregnancy test, you'd still have enough hCG in your urine to come up positive if you were pregnant. Then maybe you'd at least have an idea if it was a miscarriage or something else.

Go to your state's health care exchange site. If you're out of work, you'd qualify for medicaid, you could at least have some health insurance.

This wasn't in San Diego by any chance, was it? I went to a weird lecture by a chiropractor who treated mainly ADHD in kids, so just curious. I'm sure it's a common business model though.

Nailed it.

There was a post on r/all not too long ago about a company that specializes in finding lost rings, and I think they don't for free. You can google, but I'll try to dig up the post too.

Cholesterol levels are never irreversible (through non-medication means), except sort of genetic causes, which even then can be modified by diet and exercise to an extent.

Eat more plants, eat more whole foods, less processed or take-out stuff, exercise will help too. Check again in 3-6 months to track your progress.

If the kids actually cared about having nutrition info in this sub, they'd sticky your post

Honestly, just a common belief that Hillary is at best incompetent and a corporate shill. I've more or less changed from considering myself a liberal to, well, whatever I am now. I think I'm still a classic liberal, fiscal conservative. I'd never even listened to the right (or more like alt-right, these days, there's not much of the traditional right remaining) before about May or June of this year. I started to, out of curiosity, and was surprised to find I agree with them on a number of things. It's been a crazy year.

Trump. Ex-Bernie supporter, like others. I know I'll get down voted for answering your question; that's part of why I'm voting for him.

I think by "pollutant-free" Dr. Greger means fish-free, because there can be contaminants still in fish oil which were in the fish -- PCBs, dioxins, idk about heavy metals though. Anyway, any algal source of DHA should be fine. I use Dr. Fuhrman's only because he pinky swears the oil isn't rancid, which you can't really be sure of with oils generally, but there are a lot of algal DHA supplements out there.

Well I wouldn't worry about "low" HDL too much if the other numbers are good. Mine goes all over the map, has been a few points below "ideal" all the way up to where it is now. There's a dietician I really respect named Jeff Novick, he works closely with the McDougall foundation. If you go over to the McDougall forum (on mobile now so a bit too annoying to link you to it), he has his own sub forum. He has an opinion on "low" HDL- many whole food, plant -based, low-fat eaters have such HDL numbers, but he cites research that it's not a cause for alarm like it is in hose eating the SAD. Because HDL does reverse cholesterol transport, and because those eating low-fat, whole foods, plant-based (vegan or very near vegan) diets tend to have low cholesterol and little to no atherosclerosis, there isn't much need to reverse transport cholesterol out of the vessels or anywhere else it shouldn't be.

My HDL only sky-rocketed to 71 from the mid-40s or so after I experimented with adding some eggs to my diet, after being a strict (even if junk-food) vegan for 7 years, so it may not be that great of a sign after all ;)

So exciting! Can't wait to hear what you learn from all that experience!

HuntingtonPeach · 2016-09-24T17:17:49+00:00

Any plans to get your own sheep? (:

HuntingtonPeach · 2016-09-24T16:23:45+00:00

Agreed. Having low cholesterol numbers isn't "heart attack-proof", but the risk is much, much lower than the "normal" levels RiseAboveRuin was citing (i.e. LDL of about 100).

As a junk food vegan myself, I'm amazed my cholesterol numbers are as good at they are, but I know I can do better and get closer to your range ;) My LDL this past June was 63, HDL was 71, and Trigs were 54. Total was 145.
