TO ALL MEMBERS, PLEASE READ
Re: TO ALL MEMBERS, PLEASE READ
Roger, would you mind please expanding on this? I'm sure a lot of people are wondering, even if they haven't posted, why it is not ok to share websites or personal interest websites anymore?
Re: TO ALL MEMBERS, PLEASE READ
Is it okay to share websites or products that the individual does not have a vested interest in? Thanks Tori for bringing this up I was a little confused myself.

Thanks for clearing this up Roger. I think I understand now. You just dont want anyone sending someone to a website for example that they sell vitamins from or exercise gadgets or something similar like to where they can profit. Makes sense. Thanks Again. Debbie

OK, so we can share things that are beneficial for LDL (like where to go to get corn thins/order them, get the applegate farms hot dogs) RIGHT?! I just want to be sure I understand completetly! I think that's basically what's being said. Thanks!

Re: TO ALL MEMBERS, PLEASE READ
So does this mean that if I create a website with some recipes on it that I like that are LDL friendly, I shouldn't share it?
I thought the profile page asked for website, which I assumed meant personal homepage. Should personal homepages not be shared?
Just trying to clarify things in my own mind,
Michele

Re: TO ALL MEMBERS, PLEASE READ
Just to clarify then, if I posted a recipe that wasn't acceptable, I would be notified via private message and asked to remove it?
Thanks for clearing this up for me. I was confused about what was being meant. I gathered if I was selling something or profitted by someone going to my website it would be unacceptable to post but I just was a bit confused by other possibilities.
I'm not very creative in my recipes. The biggest thing I do is modify some of our old recipes to make it LDL friendly and I figure MOST of those are common sense and don't need to be shared. Consequently, I [glow=red,2,300]really[/glow] appreciate all of you that are creative.
Thanks for all of YOUR recipes, Mary.
God Bless,
Michele

Possibly: I could see Roger, Mary and some others sending you a private note stating what you posted is not LDL approved – however most of the time, another LDL family member will post as a reply within the message (recipe). A reason this is done isn’t meant to be callous, but to explain to the poster (and other members) which “ingredient” isn’t LDL approved.

Hello.......remember, if you take cholesterol medicine like Zocor or Lipidor, you are not supposed to eat grapefruit. I asked my doctor, who is a cardiologist, and he said if you take the medicine at night and eat grapefruit in the AM you would be OK. I called my pharmacist and he said if you have the grapefruit in your system the Zocor would not be absorbed into your system, it would just float around in your bloodstream......so be careful about eating a lot of grapefruit and taking cholesteral lowering medicine.

Yep,
More than cholesterol lowering medications too - there's an antidepressent out there called Celexa, and it has a warning on it not to eat grapefruit...

Carolyn...interesting...My oldest (almost 11 yr old) is on celexa for anxiety and I don't recall ever being warned about grapefruit...nor do I recall ever seeing it on the packaging! (not a big deal as she doesn't like grapefruit...but makes me wonder about other citrus type fruits...like Oranges...that she LOVES!!)

Re: TO ALL MEMBERS, PLEASE READ
Veronica - I've only seen the warning on ONE bottle in a whole bunch of years... I would ask the pharmacist. I'd be interested in what he/she has to say...

Re: TO ALL MEMBERS, PLEASE READ
I am taking Simvastatin a generic for Zocor. My papers that came with the meds said that I was NOT to consume MORE THAN 1 QUART of grapefruit JUICE (And it said JUICE) in a day. I take the meds at night and usually eat the grapefruit in the a.m. I don't think it has affected it as my cholesterol levels were way down the last time we checked them.
But, yes, we should use caution with meds and grapefruit.
Veronica, it doesn't mention any other citrus than grapefruit. When I was taking Procardia a few years ago, I was NOT supposed to eat ANY grapefruit.
