Fried pork skins.... that is very unhealthy...but it is usually the unhealthy things that taste good.
I am so glad they don't sell that kind of stuff where I live, else I would be dead by now from clogged ateries.. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That's only because no one eats things which are unhealthy and taste bad.

Pork Rinds/Skins are just a starter, when your ready to get serious about hurting your health pick up a bag of pork cracklins.

Your odds are greater if you're overweight and older, but that doesn't mean it can't happen at a younger age. Jim Fixx, who was a guru of running and fitness, died from a heart attack at age 52 while in peak physical shape. Some may consider 52 old, but it ain't necessarily so...

And I came across this link that links how you react to stress with your odds of developing heart disease. Basically, unless you're cool and mellow about it, stress can kill you... [img]smile.gif[/img]

As for me, bring on the pringles, oreos, and peanut M&Ms. If I'm going to die, I'll die happy...

Try checking at any of the shops near your place [img]tongue.gif[/img] I have been addicted to those things for a while now.

So sorry, not true. A family friend (in fairly good physical condition) had a heart attack at age 38. Survived, though.

Risk of heart attack is influenced by several factors - fat and age, as you noted, but also stress and genetics. Unfortunately the latter two are often more significant.
