I cleaned up my diet and recent bloodwork showed me with the highest level of HDL cholesterol ever. Despite ice cream not yet on the NoGoList buy scheduled to be soon. And triglycerides excellent.

My cardiologist who knows about the Ice Cream Issue was really happy to see the HDL jump. I come from a family replete with early deaths from heart disease, and cannot tolerate statins, so this surprise improvement has motivated a new exercise regime as well.

Well it seems that we are in the same club! I also keep having ice cream, It's my comfort food!!! But I have high cholesterol (HDL & LDL) and triglycerides but my doctor isn't really concerned because I don't have family history in heart disease, I also had an ultrasound of the carotid arteries (they were clean as a baby's) and I am an ex athlete (water polo) so he just says go and work out. Now that I am stronger I'm walking a lot but I think swimming will be the best for me! I hope that soon I'll have ice cream in the NoGoList buy!!! 😘

And yet oncologists don’t discuss diet with patients. Oncology nutritionists are woefully misinformed and therefore make incorrect recommendations to patients.
