shelbie4u what was your chol # before any treatment? Or anyone - care to post your #'s

My cholesterol was 275 total number in 2003- I took lipitor for 9 months or so
last time checked 2006 was 350 - not taking any statins

my triglycerides are pretty high too - i forgot what the # was , but in my reading in the past, it seems that the triglycerides might be the more indicator of possible health problems...

Has anyone came across info on Metabolic syndrome?
I think I have that, but haven't sought any treatment yet..

I have cut out most junk food- and adding in more healthy choices and real food vs chemical or modified food choices.. butter/olive oil vs margarine etc.. avoiding MSG and additives..
