"Your cholesterol is too high, it really went up. Your bad cholesterol (LDL) should be below 130, yours is163. This is the cholesterol that clogs arteries and puts you at risk for stroke and heart disease. Please eat less fats and more fiber. (fiber? With MC?)
Exercise more if possible. There are studies showing that fish oil pills and red yeast rice are very good at lowering the LDL, I would try these, they are over the counter. I have ordered another fasting cholesterol for you to be done in 2 to 3 months."

My cholesterol went up because I gave into temptation because prices are so high, and I ate less completely grass fed meats! When I was ONLY eating grass fed my cholesterol dropped 50 points. I will not go back to eating only grass fed. It's just so darned expensive!
If I could eat more produce it would be easier.
Oh well!
