Wow, 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..

yeah 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?

easy way to remember the HDL/LDL thing: HDL - it's ok if its High; LDL - you want to be low.

The 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.
