Is it ok to give young children the margarine that lowers your cholesterol absorption?

Q. I have very slightly raised LDL, but my total cholesterol is fine...thought the special margarine that lowers cholesterol would be a good idea for me...can I give it to my 2 and 4 yr old?

A. I wouldn't personally, growing kids need the fat for their brains to develop.

It's just butter so I don't think its a big deal if you buy two different kinds.

why is it dangerous to have Implanon when you have high cholesterol?
Q. i just had Implanon on put in then found out i have high cholesterol, i have read that people with high cholesterol shouldn't use implanon but it doesn't say why.. anyone have any ideas? i need to use some kind of contraception as i jus had a baby 6 weeks ago and the pill doesn't work and the injections contain the same thing as the implant

A. Hi
There is a question as to whether Implanon increases cardiovascular risk factors including C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation.

The following recent study suggests that there is no risk:

However, it's important to take all results with a grain of salt.

I hope this helps!

What is medically most advised for patients with exceptionally high cholesterol readings from drawn blood?
Q. What diet makes it betfer? What medications have the history of being of most help?

A. Diet low in saturated fats which would mean cutting out red meat, butter, also other fats like fried foods, cheese, etc.
Remember this rule: Cholesterol is made in the liver, therefore any food that comes from an animal contains cholesterol as it is made in the liver. Fish is the best thing to eat because it has good fats that lower cholesterol. Chicken, baked, not fried is low in fat but not totally fat free. You should really try a vegetarian diet.
a diet high in fiber lowers cholesterol by taking it out of the body,
fiber is in fruits and vegetables, and high fiber cereals such as bran and shredded wheat, also oatmeal is high in fiber.
As for meds, the statins such as simvastatin or rosuvastatin are often recommended.
Also the the B vitamin niacin may be recommended.
Red rice yeast can be purchased over the counter, it has the same properties as the statin drugs.
