"I started taking fish oil a couple of years ago and my cholesterol levels dropped."

Your triglyceride levels should drop like a rock but I don't know why cholesterol would...In fact, it has pretty conclusively been shown to raise HDL cholesterol (the good kind).

Yes - triglycerides went down (185 to 130). Oddly, I started taking it for other reasons, and was surprised to see it happen. My overall number went from 231 to 197. HDL went from 43 to 56, and LDL went from 131 to 115.

My diet didn't get better, and I think I exercise a little less. (Bad, I know...)
