A member asked:
I had blood tests come back to say my cholesterol is high, does mountain dew solda affect it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: I can tell you it doesn't make it any better for sure. Whether it contributes to its elevation, it's hard to tell. Most cholesterol is genetically predetermined, but certain foods can elevate it as well. Mountain dew has lots of carbohydrates, but has no fat. Excessive consumption of carbohydrates is known to promote obesity by conversion of carbohydrates into fats. So, indirectly it can raise it.

Good morning! I went to my PCP to have my blood work done for our HealthyReturns program. The blood work did not come back with all normal levels. My LDL was 121 and they called to tell me to return in 6 months to test again. However, the results show good for my total cholesterol on the HealthyReturns site. My Chloride levels and UR Spec Gravity is low. My Albumin, A/G Ratio, and Baso (Absolute) are high. Should I be concerned or get a 2nd test sooner? Questions Regarding Blood Work Results?
