the know it all Bubba

so which is it?

i ask

my know it all friend Bubba.

he knows everything

about everything.

so which is the bad

cholesterol

and which is the good

cholesterol?

HDL, LDL?

he laughs

and throws back his head.

taking the cigar

out of his mouth.

they aren't good

or bad.

there is no connection

between heart

disease and high cholesterol.

they've been scamming

us for seventy years

about a low fat diet.

they just want to sell you statins.

which ruin your liver,

and brings on diabetes.

the drug companies

are making a fortune on this baloney.

what you need to worry about

is your blood pressure

and your triglycerides.
