Cholesterol Levels Posted: 03-08-06 10:41am


I am concerned about my results for cholesterol levels. My doctor does not feel there is a problem. My results: total chol. 247, trig 78, hdl 71, ldl 160, vldl 16, cholesterol/hdl-c ratio 3.5. On the laboratory report, total chol., hdl and ldl were flagged as high. I know my ratio is less than 5.0 but I am still concerned about the flagged numbers. I am looking for another opinion. Thank you.

No, that is really good and in acceptable ranges. May be a little high, but you would freak if you knew what mine were, and have been. Just try and eat the heart smart margarine, and oils. If you are concerned. Stay away from animal fat as much as possible and you will never have a problem with them. Really they are .G.O.O.D. --seriously!!!
