My cholestral was 885 total last Nov 2002. The dr put me on Liptor and it came down to 285. I went off Liptor because I'm scared of Liver disease so I don't know what it is now. I don't like the doctor so I did not go back. He would not even talk about diet to lower cholestral. After 2 expensive test for blood in urine I was told by the nurse on the phone that no reason was found so it was normal for me, that lots of women over 50 have it.
Does the Atkins diet increase cholestral?
