Hi Amato, I'm getting my cholesterol checked tomorrow. I've not had it checked in a little over a year and my diet has been crazy this year trying different ways of eating. I have no idea what effect if any that will have on the cholesterol. My numbers have always been in the normal range, but my good cholesterol was low and my bad cholesterol was getting close to where they would consider to be high. I've been oil pulling for 6-7 weeks now, so hopefully things will look pretty good tomorrow. Thanks for your post....c
