Sometimes "high" cholesterol has nothing to do with the food you are eating, sometimes it's just another way our bodies attack us. My cholesterol level is at 215 and I know it's not from the food I eat. I do not eat red meat, no eggs, I was using margarine with no chol, etc. I am a celiac and some of us do have high cholesterol. I also am seeing an endo about thyroid problems and if your thyroid is off, it effects everything. I take Celexa, but my chol was high before I took it, so I feel it can't be it.

Just a few thoughts!
