[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1351194, member: 245335"] I'm not pushing any particular diet but you'd be surprised how much total cholesterol drops when you cut carbs. It could be my body doesn't work properly because this last year, I increased fats by eating more cheese, nuts and yoghurt, even some cream and my total cholesterol dropped from 5.4 to 4. S that seems to go against what doctors are telling us. The annoying thing with the whole cholesterol story is that your reading would have had your doctor patting you on the back . . . . in 1997. The other thing that goes through my mind, having stopped statins 3 years ago after 17 years of muscle pain and BS excuses from my doctor, cholesterol isn't the direct cause of the problem, it's the arteriosclerosis where the cholesterol may start to clump together causing the blockages. If I had my time again, I would have asked for some sort of scan to see how bad the problem is. It's only because of an unnecessary visit to a U.S. hospital that I know my arteries are in pretty good shape for my age. [/QUOTE]
