alt-truth, that made me chuckle. I should `#define alttruth false` and then replace all instances of false with alttruth for an April 1st commit.

But I understand that mentality. I see myself as a very logical person compared to the general population, yet when my doctor tells me I need to lower my cholesterol, I ignore her. What does she know? What they taught her in Medical school, and I don't trust that at all. She doesn't have the time in our rushed 10 minute appointments to debate me on the subject, or even give me a recommended reading list.

I feel the need to do my own research on the subject by reading medical papers but I haven't had the energy or inclination yet. From what I have bumped into over the years, it seems your basic HDL and LDL numbers don't say much about risk of heart disease or stroke.
