Not quite sure what this means.

I don't remember what my number was, but it probably wasn't real good. What I do remember, the last time a doctor checked it, was him telling me that I had the same cholesterol level as "Aunt Jemima". :ack

I'm quite sure you guys are upsetting "BonEy!"




PS Kayvan, had you been fasting at least 10 hours before the blood draw? Otherwise values are not really significant. Dr. Frank

The only reason your results are this good is because you are Short and Ugly. Just Kiddin - I'm happy for you.

My Dad who is 75 eats anything and everything and his Cholesterol is slightly better than yours. My oldest Son who is 12 has marginal Cholesterol. Diet definetly helps, but the genes are everything.:thumbsup:thumbsup

How did we all survive the cholesterol menace B4 we had TESTS for same? (Before tests were avail, I don't remember chol. ever even being MENTIONED by anybody.)

Kinda like asking whuddid we all do B4 cell phones I suppose...

My own darn self, I don't touch red meat 'cause of "Mad Cow" popping up every 5 minutes, not outta any concern for my cholesterol count (shoot. I don't have a CLUE what my 'count is :willy).

('Haven't eaten beef in pbly 10 years or so now. :bored)

Why would it upset me, it is all about genes...
When I was 360' it was 170
Now at 200' it is 135
I eat meat three times a day, drink wine, Makes and smoke 5 to 6 cigars a day... And am married to the same women for 35 years.

"And am married to the same women for 35 years. " That's legal here in Texas, but I thought it was one on one there in Californication. Guy on guy, gal on gal, guy on gal....whatever.
