Cholesterol Results Help
Hi All, I have just had a cholesterol test and I am a bit confused about the results. My total cholesterol is pretty high BUT when I use the NHS website (calculating heart age) it says my ratio is healthy? Results are: Total: 6.89 (267) HDL: 2.07 (80) LDL: 4.16 (161) Triglycerides: 1.45 (127) I understand

Seafood: Keeping It Healthy & Safe
However, research on diet and heart health has shown that, for most people, dietary cholesterol - the
cholesterol
in food - does not impact our blood
cholesterol
levels (
HDL
and LDL) significantly.

Low-normal thyroid and health implications - new article in Nutrients Journal (peer reviewed)
Low-normal thyroid function probably relates to modest increases in plasma total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein
cholesterol
, triglycerides and insulin resistance, but effects on high density lipoprotein (
HDL
)
cholesterol
and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are inconsistent.

Deadly Saturated Fat?
Beats me why anyone would want to reduce their total
cholesterol
. Note I said total
cholesterol
. The fractions (
HDL
/small dense LDL) do matter.

Cholesterol worries
My Dr's receptionist said the Dr has no need to see me,. The result of my cholesterol blood test is 6.5, and has been the same for a number of years. Should I pursue this with my Dr?

I don't understand these results
Firstly my Serum lipids
Cholesterol
5.96 mmol/l triglycerides 2.75 mmol/l
HDL
2.22 LDL 2.5 She told me to cut down on fatty foods. I don't eat red meat, fried food, no wheat (biscuits,cakes,pastry) no processed meat (sausages, burgers,ham etc) no dairy save maybe 10g butter a day.

Statins - prescribed Simvastin along with Levothyoxin
I was started on statins at the same time as the Levothyroxin because my cholesterol level was 8. Just discovered this was probably not a good thing. NHS imply waiting to see how thyroid meds do in bringing down cholesterol first and also statins are more likely to cause muscle damage if hypothyroid
