Wow, 6 out of 6. And I was guessing about the HDL-LDL.
My boyfriend's sister is the skinniest person I know and she has high cholesterol. So weird!
1The reason I got 100% is that a few years ago my cholesterol was pretty high. I had just started this new, crazy job. We were eating pizza or burgers almost every night. I cut back on the cheese and red meat and upped the veggies and added soy milk to my diet and I got back down to normal within a few months without any drugs.
25 out of 6 i forgot where it is produced!
3Oh 3/6. Forgot where it was produced, and got the HDL and LDL mixed up... buh! Well, now I learned hehe
4easy way to remember the HDL/LDL thing: HDL - it's ok if its High; LDL - you want to be low.
5yeah i forgot where it is produced too.. if i had gone with my gut i would have said kidneys, i feel like those have a lot of functions to perform.. anywho, i'm thinking that i need to get my cholesterol checked! i have GREAT BP but I guess it's not an indicator of good cholesterol?
6pffft...i got 2 out of 6 right...lol.
7Ugh I read the last question as "one way" not the "only way"
8wow 6 out of 6.
9Uh oh...only 3/6, AND I just ate a breakfast that looks identical to the photo up there. I guess I should think about cholesterol more
10lol 2 out of 6
11I got 5/6...not bad I guess. Where t produced in the body is where I f'd up.
12I was nervous I would miss one, but thankfully my studies paid off.
6/6
13Wow, I didn't do so well! I guess it's a good thing that mine is low enough that I don't have to worry for now..
145/6, I missed the first one. D'oh!
155/6! Woot woot!
16Whoo Hooo for me, I guess it pays to watch Dr. Oz on Oprah
