@colleenyoung I have shared my story but with new people on board I will share .Back in the fall of 1996 I experienced severe sweatng when I exherted myself doing any physical work .I became dizzy and went to my Dr .He sent me to a cardiologist I had shortness of breath and pain in my chest ,none in my arm .As it turned out I had a triple by pass with blockage in all 3 arteries. I changed my food to no red meat as the Dr told me to also I became vegetarian The cholesterol was the culpert. I'm still on a statin to this day as the Dr explained to me my liver is producing to much cholesterol.

Thank you Colleen--can I ask about how hard it was to transition to being a vegetarian? Did your family go along with it and make sure when you ate with them you had a good meal too? Or did you have to cook meat for them but not eat it? Am just wondering about the process in the beginning. And bravo! 25 years! @kaliadoner
