Popeyes nutrition facts accuracy?
I know that KFC chicken holds more grease than Popeyes chicken and there is 100 calories for 1 tablespoon of that oil. That is probably your difference. Popeyes chicken doesn't hold grease like KFC chicken does. I've never eaten a Popeyes piece of chicken that was loaded with grease. At KFC you can place napkins on the chicken and it just sucks up the grease.
Which Nutrition facts should I watch out for my heart disease?
A previous answer to this question was grossly wrong in many ways. First a ketogenic diet was recommended (wrong, this is equivalent to taking chemotherapy in the way it damages your body). Second it was said that your mind is clear on this diet. WRONG, your mind suffers with “brain fog,” on this very unhealthy diet. The reason is the brain is made to run most efficiently on glucose. It CAN run on ketone, but that is NOT the optimal fuel for it.The best nutrition for a heart condition is to eat a plant based high nutrient density diet. The reason? If you eat the SAD (Standard American Diet) you eat a lot of meat and potatoes (or fries) and not many vegetables, and you wind up only getting around 200 to 250 micronutrients or phytochemicals which are necessary for optimal functioning in every cell in your body. If you eat a high nutrient density diet as advocated by Joel Fuhrman, MD in his best selling book: The End of Heart Disease, then you will be getting literally THOUSANDS more nutrients than a keto or SAD diet can give you, so every cell in your body will function much more smoothly and efficiently. Dr. Fuhrman’s book is not his opinion on what’s good for you, it’s based on years of his research in nutrition, and it is backed up by literally hundreds of scientific peer-reviewed studies that are footnoted and listed in the back of the book.As to how I know these things, I’m a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine who is Board Qualified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Board Certified in Integrative Medicine, and one of only a few hundred Lifestyle Medicine Specialists in the US. (also, I just happen to be the only one in the entire state of Kansas) I have studied diet and nutrition for the last 50 years. There are several studies that show REVERSAL of coronary artery disease on vegan or near vegan diets, but NO study has ever showed reversal of heart disease on a ketogenic diet, nor on a low carb diet.One thing to remember is, it’s true you don’t want sugar (pro-inflammatory) in your diet and you don’t want simple carbs as found in white bread, pasta, pizza, bagels, etc. But you do want complex carbs as found in nuts, beans, mushrooms, veggies, seeds, avocado, onions, broccoli, kale, romaine lettuce, berries, etc.

What's a food you don't eat anymore and why?
Spaghethi. I never did like it much but i haven’t eaten it in at least 6 years. For no specific reason i just don’t like it. I don’t crave for it. I can easily live the rest of my life without ever eating it again . I also never eat chocolate unless i am extremely depressed. I haven’t eaten chocolate in years. I ate a lot of chocolate as a kid. I haven’t eaten or drunk any since 2012. I consider it extremely fattening . Surprisingly, i don’t like ice cream either. I haven’t eaten any for a year but i can go without eating ice cream for years. Generally, i avoid sweets. Luckily, i don’t have a sweet tooth. I definitely don’t eat pasta anymore. I doubt i ever will again.

Does the cholesterol amount listed on nutrition labels include both HDL & LDL? If so, isn't this number meaningless because it doesn't tell you how much good cholesterol & bad cholesterol you've consumed?
The number does mean something in that it tells you how much cholesterol is in the food, but it doesn't necessarily give you a very accurate idea of how healthy or unhealthy the food is.Once upon a time, research found that high cholesterol in the bloodstream of humans blocked arteries and resulted in a higher incidence of heart disease and stroke. Back then, it seemed to make sense that consuming more cholesterol in food would result in more cholesterol in the arteries, so recommendations were made to the public to reduce cholesterol intake.However, humans are very complicated creatures and lots of factors are involved, and later research has found cholesterol consumption and cholesterol blocking your arteries aren't as closely correlated as people believe. The cholesterol you eat doesn't just go straight to your arteries, and a lot of other stuff happens to it. Sometimes, your body turns cholesterol into hormones and vitamins. Furthermore, your body also produces its own cholesterol from other materials. It's likely that some of the cholesterol you eat ends up as cholesterol lining your arteries, so eating insanely large amounts of cholesterol regularly might have a more direct impact on the arteries, so the number does mean something, but it's not something that needs to be watched as carefully as we were told previously.Cholesterol gets packaged into HDL, LDL, and triglycerides to move around your body. When cells see LDL, they grab the cholesterol. When there's too much LDL, the cholesterol starts building up and can do bad things like block arteries. Luckily, HDL grabs extra cholesterol out of the bloodstream and sends it to the waste disposal system. If there's enough HDL compared to LDL, it can get rid of cholesterol before it builds up.The last "L" in LDL and HDL stands for "lipoprotein". "Lipo" means fat. One factor in the amount of HDL vs. LDL in the body is the type of fat consumed. Saturated and trans fats tend to lead to more LDL, while unsaturated fats tend to lead to more HDL. If you want to know how much HDL and LDL a food is likely to cause, looking at the types of fat in it can give you a vague idea. Furthermore, sugar and refined starches tend to result in more LDL while fiber and omega-3 tends to be associated with a higher HDL ratio. Again, humans are complicated, so taking all those factors into account still isn't the whole picture.
