[QUOTE="covknit, post: 1477651, member: 346585"] As I understand it statins increase BG levels. It is worth noting that certain foods are supposed to reduce cholesterol levels. As [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] says the research into the links between Cholesterol and heart and stroke problems is not as the nice people offering us statins claim. On the other hand there does seem to be a link between the very small oxygented, glycated (rusty) LDL and heart/stroke problems. Ideally your triglyceride/hdl ratio must be less than 2. If it is less than 1 you probably have none of those nasty small dense LDL. If it is more than 1.2 you have. My GP/DN does not give me the ratio but she does give me enough figures so I can input it into [URL]http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php[/URL] . Since I love olives I am eating some of those every day and hope I will get a better result. I have to wait until September before I can test my theory though. Beware the advice to drink red wine. Grapes produce resveratrol as a defence mechanism to protect themselves against preditors. Most growers use pesticides so the plant does not produce resveratrol. The same will apply to the resveratrol in the skins of blueberries and raspberries. You need to buy/grow these fruits organically to benefit from consuming them. [/QUOTE]
