I know there is little evidence that eating cholesterol-rich foods will raise serum cholesterol, but it would appear in my case, that's exactly what happened. I've been eating TNT-A since January.

Last year my total was 180, triglycerides 47, HDL 41, LDL 130.

Today's test: total 281, triglycerides 60, HDL 58, LDL 211.

Triglycerides are still pretty low, and trigl/HDL ratio is still fine at 1.034.

The Doc thinks I need a statin drug. I've told him I want to have another test in six months and we'll see then. I really don't think a drug is necessary based on other things Alan's said before, but the sudden 101 point rise has the doc concerned.

Alan, Jamie, others -- any suggestions? Do you think eating less cholesterol might help? Thanks!!
