I am confused as I have been told I have
high cholestrol, sorry I don't have the
count...I was surprised so I forgot to ask
the specialists.
I am vegetarian have been for 20 years.
I don't smoke, never did.
I don't eat fast food, never really
have.
I drink about 2 times a month,
moderately.I thought I was eating healthy,
but I guess this can be genetic?
Anyone hvae thoughts on this?
Thank you.

High cholesterol can be genetic. Just
because you are vegetarian though does not
mean you won't get high cholesterol.
Breads and starches add up in your
triglycerides along with tofu. If you do a
search for cholesterol and low cholesterol
diets on the web you will find loads of
info. Also, start reading labels and look
for low cholesterol and low fat products.
It's hard but it will help.
