Excellent article. Do you happen to know of any evidence based research on cholesterol? Mine just came back at:

Whole Cholesterol 242
Triglycerides 73
HDL 55
LDL 172

and my doctor wants to have a talk with me about lowering my cholesterol. I'm already doing all of the easy things so I suspect he will want to put me on drugs.

Do you have other risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure?

Not blood pressure which is around 122/84. No family history, but 23&me says I have a 1.13x risk of Coronary Heart disease. I'm not overweight.
