Is 5.1 that high ass i have got it down from 5.7 6 months ago, or is more important to worry about ratios of good bad and trigs which i dont understand?. My gp says that diet will only reduce chlesterol by 10%. is this correct? Should i be looking at statins as these have been mentioned. I am 45 and still unfortunately smoke 5 to 10 cigarettes a day something that i am ashamed of and trying to cease? . Thoughts plkease and meery xmas all Cheers Andy [/QUOTE]
