Hi

If you believe all the hype re cholesterol then your total cholesterol along with LDL is a little on the high side.

HDL level is good although raising this even more is beneficial particularly through diet.

Finally your Triglceride levels are excellent, it's been well researched that triglyceride levels are the best way to discover whether a patient is prone to heart disease etc. yours are extremely good.

So to summarise I'd say your cholesterol levels are nothing to worry about.

You need to read the Great Cholesterol Con by Dr Malcolm Kendrick, I do not think you will worry about your non existing cholesterol level! again.
