I think if you were a true vegan your cholesterol would be below 140 perhaps 130.

Don't get me wrong your numbers are good they can be better.
I haven't had any dairy for many years now. I tried having 3 eggs per week for about 6 months as an experiment but now I stopped.

Maybe next time I'll get my cholesterol below 140. I think I can do it now that I understand the role that "peace of mind" plays in lowering cholesterol.

I remember reading about some of the Chinese having total cholesterol as low as about 85? They were among the healthiest but I always wondered how they did it. Now I suspect it must have something to do with living in remote areas of China. I believe they are essentially cut off from noise pollution and news contamination. They live a quieter more peaceful existence.

An ancient Chinese curse goes like this: "May you live in interesting times."
