Actually the 100 total seems to be a general standard. Whaddaya bet that 
the "should be put on statins on general principles" is being pushed by 
big Pharma? Unless I owned stock in Pfizer and/or Merck or Bayer AG I'd 
cast a big hairy eyeball at that sort of thinking.

It was never something I worried about. It just gets some of my croakers 
excited though. Mostly the ones who are "assembly-line" doctors, ticking 
off boxes and using printed decision trees instead of treating the 
patient as an individual. I ditch those as I find out about them.

NB> Yup...  :)

Some good philosophy in some of those commercials. And that sort of 
thing is more effective with me than Ron Popeil or Billy Mays and their 
"infomercials".

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Basic Popeil Pasta
 Categories: Five, Pasta
      Yield: 4 servings

  3 1/3 c  Flour
      4 lg Eggs; beaten with
      1 tb Extra virgin olive oil
      1 ts Salt

  Mound the flour in the center of a large wooden cutting
  board. Make a well in the middle of the flour, add the
  eggs. Using a fork, beat together the eggs and begin to
  incorporate the flour starting with the inner rim of the
  well. As you incorporate the eggs, keep pushing the flour
  up to retain the well shape (do not worry if it looks
  messy). The dough will come together in a shaggy mass when
  about half of the flour is incorporated.

  Start kneading the dough with both hands, primarily using
  the palms of your hands. Add more flour, in 1/2-cup
  increments, if the dough is too sticky. Once the dough is
  a cohesive mass, remove the dough from the board and
  scrape up any left over dry bits. Lightly flour the board
  and continue kneading for 3 more minutes. The dough should
  be elastic and a little sticky. Continue to knead for
  another 3 minutes, remembering to dust your board with
  flour when necessary. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and
  set aside for 20 minutes at room temperature. Roll and
  form as desired.

  Note: Do not skip the kneading or resting portion of this
  recipe, they are essential for a light pasta

  Extrude in any shape which you prefer.
