Ask not what your arteries can do for you, but ask what you can do for your arteries (1 Viewer)

[argh11111111111]

A friend of mine sent me this site which has details for free cholesterol tests around the country. The site says 1/2 of the population has high cholesterol and only 1/5 know about it. Pretty scary.

So I think I'm going to get myself tested. I used to eat a chocolate eclair every day at my old job. I love cream.

or, you could change your diet and make sure you're not eating high cholesterol foods, and therefore not waste any time on a test.

Eating cholesterol isn't necessarily the reason for high blood cholesterol levels.

There's also a big difference between HDL and LDL, too, not just "cholesterol".

As far as my knowledge extends, people who have a tendency towards high cholesterol can cut down their cholesterol by eating less, but people who eat a lot (of the bad kind) don't neccessarily end up with abnormally high levels. It's not exactly as simple as "you are what you eat." You might as well get tested if you're worried, but at your age it shouldn't really be an issue. Kudos for the health warning though...

i know all about HDL and LDL, so don't try and put it to ignorance. I made a simple statement regarding a change of diet.

I frankly think the test is a better idea than some glib "eat different foods" remark because it's public and therefore brings more social awareness to a low profile health issue. But hey, what do I know?

if you're fat then you should be aware that you may get sick.

Anyone can have high cholesterol, including thin people.

I've heard genetics play a large role, up to 80%.

Are you a doctor? Do you have any other physical/sporting/medicial/nursing achievements?

And a word for the wise... Generally there is an inverse relation to the amount you know, and the amount you claim to know. The more i learn, the more i realise i do not know. But it is nice to see you are educating us.
