Tests HSCRP homocysteine, lipoprotein, the leg homocysteine target less than 11, less than 10. Some people say lower, but it's hard. I agree.
Olive oil, yes or no?
Big time. Big time, Big time. I'm about a tablespoon a day. Two new studies this week reduce all cause mortality significantly with extra virgin olive oil in the diet. And one of the studies, much better endothelial function, which is the big controversy in the plant based world.
