Hi Lil,

While my cholesterol was not as high as yours to start with, it has come down a lot so far. Below are all of my numbers just to give you something to compare to...


8/20/02
Blood Pressure 142/90
Glucose 114
LDL (bad) Cholesterol 156
HDL (good) Cholesterol 53
Total Cholesterol 236
Triglycerides 133

12/10/02
Blood Pressure 132/92
Glucose 87
LDL (bad) Cholesterol 142
HDL (good) Cholesterol 47
Total Cholesterol 204
Triglycerides 76

Needless to say, I couldn't be happier! RE: coffee...I had the same problem as you. HOWEVER, about a week after I gave up regular for decafe, I never had another problem.

Good luck!
