[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1622822, member: 256617"] I think it is important to get the ratios in the cholesterol. My understanding is that what should be watched is the HDL number divided into the total cholesterol; some take the view that a ratio lower the 3.5 to 1 (I prefer the 2 to 1 opinion) is fine as a marker for less chance of a cardiac incident. In addition (and this is what I believe) carbs / sugars which are not fully utilised increase triglycerides which are the cause of plaque cholesterol which can break off and cause strokes / heart attacks. So it would seem that keeping triglycerides low circa < 1.7 is desirable. [/QUOTE]
