Cholesterol is so sneaky, some super slim people have high cholesterol and vice versa. Sadly only so much can be controlled by diet, you may want to check out ways of lowering it such as the cholesterol lowering drinks which I do believe work to a point. Good luck!

Thanks for my first reply what are these drinks called

[sueper in reply to draper21]

I think it is Benecol but most of the big supermarkets do their own cheaper versions.

I agree with Concerned, Triglyceride to HDL Ratio (Trig/HDL) is about the biggest indication of health that you can glean from the standard NHS test currently. Below 2 is Good, below 1 is Fantastic. Of course I'm not a medical professional though. Maybe checkout Dr Briffa or Jonny Bowden for some alternative views on Cholesterol before worrying too much.

Hi Draper

I don't know how old you are, but if you are a post menopausal women your cholesterol levels will go up naturally.

Hope you can sort out your house and get back on track soon.
