Re: My total cholesterol is 269

The red wine is probably not so bad, because the polyphenols in it are beneficial to the heart.

See this article:

Mercola then goes on to say that eating grape skins (i.e. without the grapes themselves) would be even better, but that seems a whole lot less pleasant to me than drinking a glass of red wine and, after all, doing something that you enjoy is also beneficial to your health...
