And you are okay for that? Presumably yes?Marscapone 44% fat
Cheddar 35% fat
Ricotta 7% fat
If that is useful, interesting or significant I have no idea, I just eat them.

I like Philadelphia too. And Brie.
It is my understanding the cholesterol testing done by pharmacists is purely total cholesterol, as opposed to the components.I will wait and see what they say in their own good time.
I will probably go down the route suggested by Tipetoo and have a cholesterol test done at the local pharmacist.
I am eating a lot of the stuff and am really trying to see what the consensus of opinion is on doing that. I kind of think I might well be on safe ground doing that but not totally convinced. I am eating fat in quantities that I havent done for many many years so for me it is uncharted territory. Also as a reminder, I have no gall bladder.I’m sort of struggling to see why you’re asking because you are very knowledgeable about this WOE and cream cheese isn’t that far away from butter and double cream. If it doesn’t affect your BS levels and isn't making you fat then eat it. We know that sat fat doesn’t cause bad cholesterol levels, carbs and PUFA’s can though.
Okay. Thats a shame. I had my HbA1c done a couple of weeks ago but no other test related info is available. Just the HbA1c result. I might just ask reception if they did other tests at the same time.It is my understanding the cholesterol testing done by pharmacists is purely total cholesterol, as opposed to the components.
My advice would be not to over-think too much. Just avoid anything that's both high in carbs and high in fats. Mascapone definitely isn't!Marscapone. As an alternative to Greek yogurt and or double cream. I enjoy this stuff, but is it likely to “clog our arteries up” etc?
3.5g / 100 carbs
45g / 100 fat
Mascarpone on its own isn’t likely to be an issue, but if you make a Victoria sponge and use mascarpone as the filling it will not do you a lot of good.
Lloyd’s do one for £15 and give both sets of figures, so they say.It is my understanding the cholesterol testing done by pharmacists is purely total cholesterol, as opposed to the components.
Should you care to have something more detailed, away from your doctor supported test routine, there are a number of labs and sites doing them these days for a modest amount.

I phoned them last week and am going on what I was told. I will see how it goes. Maybe give them a second call to double check.That's good to hear.
I've just looked on their website and am a bit confused though. They seem to do a total cholesterol check for £14.99: http://www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/selfcheck-cholesterol-test and a further one with the breakdowns for £69. http://www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/lets-get-checked-heart-test
If you're going to do it, I guess the devil's in the detail.
I'll be interested to hear your outcome.

I have been buying 250gram tubs and eating half a tub at a time with either stewed rhubarb or frozen berries. I don’t sweeten the marscarpone but use sweeteners on stewed rhubarb.I prefer butter cream in a Victoria sponge.
And used to like the Mascarpone sauce with pasta but no more so I may try the Mascarpone on it's own.
If you were on a very tight low carb diet you might want to bother about cheesy carbs, but you're not are you!
Will be heading for Lloyds in the next few days. Thanks ListadLloyd’s do one for £15 and give both sets of figures, so they say.
Ooh not as cheap as i tboughtThat's good to hear.
