Is cholesterol a myth?
I've been told it's a big myth cholesterol causes heart attacks but I can't see that's true as my uncle at 51, slim and non smoker had a massive heart attack due to high cholesterol. His level was about 7. My levels were tested a year ago. My hdl was 1.6, ldl 3.4 and triglycerides were 3.0. Total 6.9

Cholesterol-Busting Super-Soup
Preparing good-tasting, healthy meals is an ongoing challenge whether you're on a plant-based diet or not. Most people have read and learned about some of the 'super-foods' that are high in anti-oxidants and fibre that will lower bad cholesterol as it is found in LDL-C and ApoB. Some of these foods

My 'not so brief' story into AF and beyond !! (hopefully)
Hi, I have been monitoring this site for some time now and would like to take the opportunity of thanking each and every person who has taken the time to contribute to it, regularly or not.

Blood result! Anyone know how to read them? Help!!!
Hey everyone, I have had blood test results back and it appears that they have just given me a standard one as opposed to one to test thyroid so specifically. I am currently away for six weeks so my mum collected them for me and I am having trouble understanding them. The doctor said I will need to

The U.S. government is poised to withdraw longstanding warnings about cholesterol
*Cholesterol* is finally officially removed from Naughty List The US government has finally accepted that *cholesterol* is not a _nutrient of concern_. doing a U-turn on their warnings to us to stay away from high-cholesterol foods since the 1970s to avoid heart disease and clogged arteries. This means

I took

The right diet for T2 Diabetes with elevated blood cholesterol
I have lived with T2 for five years (genetic caused) which I usually control the conditions with low carb diet with good fat ( extra virgin olive oil, a bit of coconut oil) and full cream diary products. I also eat proteins from both animals and plants especially my favorite dhal. I excercise most days

Familial Hypercholesterolemia? - Maybe, but probably not
I was told I had familial hypercholesterolemia - a genetic pre-disposition to excess production of cholesterol. I had bypass surgery in March 2015 and was given a cocktail of pills post-surgery, including 40 mg of Crestor. After limited success by eliminating red meat and reducing simple carbohydrates

BIG reduction in cholesterol over 3 months
I have had extremely high cholesterol for over 30 years. My total cholesterol number has been as high as 10.5 mmol/l and averaged around 8.7 mmol/l for the past 10 years. Although symptomless, I recently had a cardio score done and found that I now have a highish level of calcification in my heart arteries
