So doctor prescribed diet supplimentary capsule 'winofit' as
cholesterol level in my blood is tricky.

I purchased capsules and found 'gelatin capsule shell - animal origin'
written on cover.

I searched google..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin

.
Gelatin is made from meat, cattle bones etc. I am turned vegetarian
since last 2 years. Now problem with me is that should I swollow these
antioxident capsules to prevent heart desease?

My answer is NO.

I will start eating fruits, vegetables even if I don't like to eat it
everyday.

In the meantime even if I suffer heart attack, I will have no regret.

I said to doctor this afternoon on personal issue like remaining
unmarried that I do not compromise in my life.

That is true. I do not compromise.

You don't think either.

Just open the capsules and take the contents.

I think the doctor is giving you Winofit for the omega3 fatty acids.
The best alternative for vegetarians is DHA capsules made from ocean
algae. You can also eat Walnuts or Flaxseed, though the conversion to
DHA will be low.
DHA does lower LDL, and raise HDL. Do some internet search for these
capsules. It is becoming common to prescribe these DHA capsules during
pregnancy.

Strange. I go out everyday. Thousands of times i have gone to shops
but never saw this thingy. Anyway I purchased it. It looks somewhat
like picture of human brain. Strange.

You made a decision, based upon your moral code. What is the dilemma?

People have made decisions, based upon their moral codes, throughout the
human experience. Once the decision is made, it seems to me that any moral
dilemma is resolved.
