Help with test results
I have most my blood results back and nearly everything is within range! A few things to note: the B12 I have been on a course of it since April to improve it, it was at 255 so has risen to 313 now. On the Anti-TG there is a note to say the sample was Hemolyzed so needed to be redone. Cortisol is high

BUTTER VERSUS NON BUTTER
BUTTER VERSUS NON BUTTER While the decision of whether to choose butter or margarine is dependent on the individual and their specific dietary needs.,maintaining proper nutrition is a personal undertaking. What makes sense for one person might not be in the best interest of the next. Trans fat raises

Cholesterol
Going to see my doctor today to discuss my recent Cholesterol results. 7.0. LDL 4.3 and HDL 2.2. I have no intention of going on Statins so hoping to improve my diet. It is not a bad diet although I don't tend to eat fruit and need to increase my veg intake. I eat porridge every day and prefer wholewheat

COCONUT OIL
DOES COCONUT OIL INCREASE CHOLESTEROL? Hydrogenated coconut oil can increase cholesterol. Therefore look for non-hydrogenated coconut oil with no transfat. There is no cholesterol in coconut oil itself, and with non-hydrogenated coconut oil, most people will see little difference or will see an improvement

Update on Using Plant Sterols

Bullying doctor!
Hi I have been reading here for a while but this is the first time I have posted, just feeling very upset. I am a 60 year old female and was called by my doc for a general health check. I forgot all about getting results as I had to have an op, and didn't call docs for about 2 months to get results.
