The triglycerides is what i am concerned about more so, i have read that most heart attack victims come in to hospital with what is considered as normal cholesterol readings, so it's confusing really

Brian:
When I read that you eat PORRIDGE for breakfast, the first thing that came to mind is Little Red Riding Hood (or was it the Three Bears???).
Some nursery rhyme where someone comes in and says: "Who's been eating MY porridge??"
I haven't heard the word Porridge in over 50 years.
Honestly, I don't even know what Porridge is. It is like Oatmeal??
