From what I’ve been reading and hearing about is that your liver determines the cholesterol numbers. Now everyone has a “fatty liver” and/or “high liver enzymes” and you have to go in to have your liver $canned. I was having my records updated and told the doctor I had a fatty liver. He almost laughed, and said lots of people had a fatty liver. I’ve been taking milk thistle supplements just in case, and feel fine and dandy.

What happened to the FReeper who kept us up-to-date with daily medical news? I always looked forward to that.

Having excess retinol increases cholesterol. Cereals and multivitamins contain retinol. A lot of of people without a retinol deficiency take them, not knowing the risks to their health.
