    from high cholesterol. Fact. Well more you could die from heart disease caused by high cholesterol levels.

    Australians, you man live. Free cholesterol testing: http://www.testthenation.com.au/

    I think this is great, especially as my Mum has high cholesterol and I might too.

    Thoughts?

    There is no real proof that high cholesterol is bad for you.
    read this site-http://www.ravnskov.nu/cholesterol.htm
    or type cholersterol myth into google.

    Very optimistic outlook on life there! But I am probably dying of high cholesterol and several other things.

    Think about it we start dieing at birth. I personally will eat what I want and do what I want and damn the consequences. Figure since I am dieing anyway I am going to enjoy my life. I ain't eating healthy food that tastes like crap and I ain't gonna sit there and not do dangerous things either. Personally I don't want to make it to 70. I see no reason to get old. Once I get too old to do things for myself anymore I want to be killed. Frankly I will not let my self get past the point that I can't kill myself.

    If I get to the point I can't do things for myself anymore and I get to the point I may not remember or be capable of using a gun then before that happens I will end it.

    Every one is dying, that is just a fact. However if you know that your lifestyle is what is killing you faster, dont you think you would change your lifestyle and/or eating habits to live longer?

    I guess there are two sides to this.

    I totally agree with FFTEX that we should take risks and live every day and being old sucks.

    On the other hand I want to live for as long as I can. Who knows what cool medical breakthroughs are just around the corner that will really improve quality of life in old age. Even restore a lot of our vitality. I read a great article about this kind of thing on wired a few weeks ago. Dug it up for you: http://www.wired.com/medtech/drugs/magazine/16-04/ff_kurzweil

    Also saying stuff like "I'm going to die anyway" can be a really good excuse to just take the easy lazy road. It's easy to be lazy about health, exercise and diet.
