Thanks, but I am not even convinced that cholesterol is the problem that the current wisdom says it is. In fact, people with very low cholesterol levels are more susceptible to cancer, at least that has been shown to be true in some studies.

I’m not trying to tell anyone else what to do. We all have to try to make some sense out of all the confusing medical information out there. If I’m wrong, then I’ll have to live with the consequences.

I do appreciate your suggestion, though. It’s very kind of you.

Your welcome. I have a hereditary small dense LDL....found through the VAP test (same cost as a reg cholesterol test, except they do expanded testing).....anyhoooo....I’m thinking of doing the red yeast rice thingy....I agree with you about whether “cholesterol” esp. total cholesterol, and whether it’s a problem....OH....I had a paternal g-father die in his sleep at age 50 of massive heart attack....so, I do try to watch it.....
