Strange isn't it, that with those diets that heart attacks were rare.
Now we have low fat, no fat, low cholesterol, what they deem healthy,
yet we ate those foods which were the antithesis of of good for us yet
were more healthy. What changed? Did we need all the radiation and
risk from those bread board and unshielded circuits. Nah, my dad always
ate that stuff although he got poked off the electric fence often.
I never had high BP, or high cholesterol until I started working out and
"eating right". I worked right next to open coil, induction heaters
running a couple hundred KW. I did have a legal limit amp with no
covers or shielding and survived although I never wore a neck chain
while working on it, then had two strokes and one heart attack.
A fib caused the strokes. Had I known that two weeks sooner it would
have only been one stroke and I'd still be climbing towers.
Never got hurt climbing towers. Did get knocked unconscious from an
HT-44 PS though. I was on the work bench, woke up laying on the floor
gasping for breath.
Ham radio and diet. Don't think they are related, although I see a lot
of hams that look like a walking heart attack looking for a place to
happen and even with the change in foods, are hams as a group more prone
to...<:-))
It's still biscuits and gravy up here in the farm country.

Back on the farm, when I was young, it was lard, bacon grease, and
fresh churned butter. Boiled dinners or steaks and potatoes smothered
in a thick, rich gravy. Eggs fried, submerged in bacon grease for
breakfast.
