Re: Help! Cholesterol 303!...EDIT
Your cholesterol is fine. Hi HDL negates the hi cholesterol number. It is the ratio you want to pay attention to. Your ratio is 3.38, which is excellent! Your cholesterol is fine also.
Range for HDL: 40-59. HDL values above 59 are associated with reduced cardiac risk.
Range for LDL is 0-99
Range for triglycerides: 0-149 Stay away from dining out. Do not eat trans fats.
Range for ratio units: 0.0-4.4
My cholesterol is 274. My HDL is 103. My ratio is 2.66.
Eat a diet consisting of organic meats, eggs, goat dairy, omega 3s, and fruits and vegetables. If you are overweight you should not eat grains...oatmeal. I would recommend not eating any grains.
Please stay away from doctors and statin drugs! They will both kill you!

Edit: Your ratio is 4.9. Sorry, I saw your LDL number as your total cholesterol. Your cholesterol is a little high. Good luck to you!
