First of all, follow the sage advice that is emblazoned in friendly

fuzzy letters on the cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,

and DONT PANIC.

The entire cholesterol hypothesis of heart disease is being

questioned

by quite a few MDs.

Great contribution by Michelle on vitamin D and cholesterol.

 

For a thorough article on the cholesterol issue, click this link

to a newsletter by Jon Barron. While you are at the website, pick up

his free e-book. It is a readable, excellent primer on the principles

of natural health building. I like his motto:

 

" There are no magic bullets, only a series of steps to optimum

wellness " .

 

Supporting your liver is a key factor in the management of

cholesterol.

Providing your body with a full complement of B vitamins is another.

You see that these are measures that build health in a general way.

 

Anyway, Jon has explained it all, here is the link:

Lucinda,

 

Triglycerides are actually a type of cholesterol but one caused by

carbohydrates. Lowering your carbs will help including alcohol consumption but

then a drink a day especially red wine is good for the cardiovascular system.

Try to limit carbs or eat complex carbs. Newer research seems to suggest a

bigger role of refined carbs in heart disease perhaps greater than fat

consumption.
