[QUOTE="graj0, post: 769969"] I can only give you my experience, anecdotal as it might be, but others have discovered the same thing. My total cholesterol dropped from 5.5 to 3.5 after I dropped my carb intake to around 80 gms a day. I was so surprised because my GP had always gone on about how much fat I ate (I've followed low fat since 1989), that I started Googling for a reason. The information is out there, I found several references to lower carb, lower cholesterol, even an explanation as to how it works. By the way, on another forum somebody was saying that she had followed doctor's orders to lower fat and her total cholesterol actually went up. I think I can confidently say that lower carbs means lower cholesterol, as has already been mentioned. [/QUOTE]
