Q. Is there a cholesterol value independent of total cholesterol? If so, is it used as part of the formula for total cholesterol. And how do HDL and LDL fit into the measurement of cholesterol vs total cholesterol. Any references would be appreciated. Thank you.
A. Total cholesterol = LDL + HDL + (1/5 triglycerides)
For example, if one has HDL of 40, LDL of 100 and triglycerides of 100, then the total cholesterol = 100 + 40 + (1/5 of 100=20) = 160.
The LDL/HDL ratio is as important or more so than the total, and 2.5 or less is good. 100/40 = 2.5

What are some good cholesterol lowering foods? Know of any good recipes that are good for you for meals?
Q. I am looking for some good cholesterol lowering foods and also some low cholesterol meals that are yummy. Hereditary reasons have caused me to get on a cholesterol medicine but I also want to be proactive in what I eat.
Does anyone have any recipes they can share? Or know of good yummy foods that lower cholesterol, that are good for you and such. I'm just not big into oatmeal at all. I ate way too much of it as a kid.

A. I had the same problem. I use shaklee cholesterol regulation complex. It's a natural food supplement and I take it with my meals. My good cholesterol is 130 and I think the range is between 45 and 65, something like that. The doctor said he never saw anything like it, and keep doing what I'm doing.
They have a web site if you are interested, just type in Shaklee.

How is cholesterol good for you and your body?
Q. Explain the benefits of cholesterol for the body and its functions. How does it affect joints and organs?
A. Americans are being saturated with anti-cholesterol propaganda. If you watch very much television, you're probably one of the millions of Americans who now has a terminal case of cholesterol phobia. The probaganda is relentless and is often designed to produce fear and loathing of this works of all food contaminants. You never hear the food propagandists bragging about their product being fluoride free or aluminum free, two of our truly serious food-addidtive problems. But cholesterol, an essential nutrient not proven to be harmfull in ANY quantity is constantly pilloried as a menance to your health. If you don't use corn oil, Fleishmann's margarine and Egg Beaters, you are going straight to atherosclerosis hell with stroke, heart attack and premature aging and so are your kids.
