Elevated Cholesterol: Congratulations on changing your diet. That may have a positive effect on your cholesterol but for some people with genetic elevated cholesterol it may not. It also depends on wether you have a history of coronary artery disease. I would check with my doctor who may do testing and decide from there what to do. Great job Debbie!
