Whatever you do, don't eat eggs - those are mighty bad for your cholesterol level

eggs are not bad for cholesterol, common myth !!!

carbs and sugars are the evil culprits of cholesterol.

but even then diet really can only lower your levels by 15 - 20 % tops so i would say the best way to control it is by diet/exercise/not smoking.... the rest is genetic.

if you can't control it then I would maybe go on med's but im not a big fan of med's so I dunno.

hope that helps.

I would not worry about too much, people get carried away about high cholesterol, live a balanced, healthy life and you should be fine.

Have you ever had your cholesterol tested?

Your talents are wasted on this forum

agree with mikeyboy

dietary cholesterol has a very small effect on body cholesterol. total calories and total fat play a bigger role, hence anti cholesterol drugs targetting hmg-coa reductase to stop production and being very successful

Nuh uh, the tabloids say that the cholesterol in eggs will kill you, furry up your arteries, give you CHD, create famines, wars, the apocolypse etc., so it must be true. To hell with your medical studies - The Daily Mail tells me everything I need to know about proepr nutrition. Wuuuuurd.

High Triglycerides and cholesterol here. 38 yrs. old BTW.

Tri's were 400 something at one time.....now on medication and doing great.

Diet had nothing to do with it, it was all hereditary for me. You never know.
I'm as health conscience as they come, didn't matter.

Get it tested, find out, good luck.....
