[QUOTE="Patch, post: 163889, member: 13526"] I've just come back from an appointment at the Lipid Clinic at my hospital - picked up a couple of interesting points. These came directly from the Dr. - not from a dietition or a diabeties specialist nurse: 1) Around 2/3 of the Cholesterol (LDL/HDL) in your system is created BY your system. Only 1/3 of it comes from the food you eat. 2) Triglycerides come directly from the food you eat - but it is very common for people to have a genetic disposition to elevated triglycerides. Point 1) was very interesting to me - I'd always known that a lot of the cholesterol in your system was created by the system, but I didn't know it was as high as 2/3 of the total cholesterol. So,theoretically, a person with a TC level of 6, can realistically only reduce it to 4 by diet modification only. [/QUOTE]
