[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2402259, member: 451727"] Yep, not to mention that a cholesterol level without ANY other tests doesn't even mean a person HAS 'dodgy arteries'. My level is a total of 7.9, made up of HDL 2.4/Trigs 0.5/LDL 4.7. There is NO other factor that tells me I have dodgy arteries, so unless they do the tests to establish whether that is the case, then it's a no from me too. Incidentally tests that I have had done with a Lipid Consultant showed that I have polygenic DNA factors, meaning eating less 'saturated fat' makes no difference whatsoever as my levels will always be higher than this so called average of under 4, in order to get MY natural levels down to that would mean taking very strong statins, no thanks. Also even my Lipid Consultant (who also said take statins!!!) said what I ate made barely any difference as whatever my body didn't get from its food it would make itself. My HDL plus trigs are almost 4 on their own too so under 4...erm, no. Topping all this off is that WHO says every single person, no matter the differences should have a level under 4 'just in case', makes no sense to me. [/QUOTE]
