[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2317668, member: 219467"] Obviously it's your decision.. however. Some of the more enlightened doctors and heart specialists often look at the ratio of Trig/HDL to assess risk of heart problems. Anything sub 0.87 is though of as very good. Yours is 0.385 which is excellent. Also there is a fair bit of evidence emerging that people following a low carb diet can often have higher levels of LDL without being at increased risk. There's a huge amount of info on Dave Feldmans website [URL="http://www.cholsterolcode.com"]www.cholsterolcode.com[/URL] that you might find complicated but interesting. As well as this the LDL number is in fact calculated and not measured and many believe that the calculation is flawed when looking at people who eat low carb. Finally there is some compelling evidence that as we age higher levels of cholesterol are protective against all sorts of things especially in women. Check out the PURE study video from professor Salim Yussef [MEDIA=youtube]dykJsHBqTkU[/MEDIA] Fascinating stuff. Sorry about the subtitles the english version seems to have disappeared.. [/QUOTE]
