Diet was a first step. To begin with, such cholesterol-rich foods as eggs and organ meats and most cheeses can directly add to the level of potentially harmful LDL. Fat has an even bigger impact, although the reasons are not well understood. Saturated fat tends to raise LDL levels. Butter, bacon, beef, whole milk, virtually any food of animal origin is high in saturated fat; so are two vegetable oils: coconut and palm. Polyunsaturated fats, which are typically of vegetable origin, have the opposite effect; thus corn, safflower, soybean and sesame oils tend to lower the level of potentially...

The cells of the liver are specially equipped to remove harmful LDL cholesterol from the blood, but because of her genetic defect this mechanism was not working in Stormie's liver.

...synthesize each phrase individually and put the whole thing together on tape, a laborious, time-consuming process.

In 1982 more than 40,000 synthesizers were sold...
