Cholesterol levels are an interesting thing. I don't know my exact numbers right now. (I will know them in a few weeks.) Recently, my total cholesterol has not been bad. My LDL (lousy cholesterol) has been dropping. My HDL (healthy cholesterol) has been steady: a little low, and not rising. So here is what I learned today about cholesterol.
"Our research strongly suggests, in fact, that lower than "normal" HDL levels are not worrisome as long as total cholesterol is well within the safe range - under 150 mg/dL - a finding that has been discussed by other researchers, as well." (Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Esselstyn, p. 49)
