[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2005329, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=473650]@gemma_T1[/USER] -- I don't think you can download the calculator, so the best I can do is to give a link. I agree really good olive oil is the nectar of the gods. You are really lucky to live in Italy. It might have been the meat that increased your LDL -- mind you, personally I don't think this is a problem. Did you know that most of the time LDL isn't measured, but calculated based on your TC, HDL and trigs? For this, generally the Friedewald equation is used -- unfortunately, for very low levels of trigs (like yours), the Friedewald equation doesn't work, but the Iranian formula should be used instead. For me, this made a difference of 20 points in LDL. [/QUOTE]
