I can support it.
In certain countries the norm is 90-120, here we are led to believe as U just stated that <200 is good, it's not.
The target s/b <150, Dr. Esseltyn claims no one with a cholesterol below has had clogged arteries.
R your cholesterol levels with or without meds?
Ours range 130-135 no meds.

I disagree. You aren't the only one who reads.
Genetic variants in PCSK9 affect the cholesterol... [J Hum Genet. 2004] - PubMed - NCBI
Our figures are without medication. Lucky genetics.
When I was 58 my cholesterol was 126. Now it is about 27 points higher.
How old are YOU? Age, genetics, diet, lifestyle, level of contentment, all add up to someone's total health picture.
I think I am gonna stop reading this thread. It isn't good for my blood pressure.
