A member asked:
What can i do so my cholesterol is very high if i eat a vegan diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genes: If you have become a vegan to protest the cruelty of factory farming of animals, i honor and admire you. If you like it, great. If it's because you or somebody you want to please has read a subscientific book about no one having heart attacks in mao's china, or false claims that vegetarians really live longer or have less atherosclerosis or cancer, then maybe it's time to reconsider your decision.
