A member asked:
My total cholesterol is 91 mg/dl (hdl 42, ldl 37, tri 61) is it too low and if so how can i raise it healthfully?

Yes, dangerously low: Many docs believe cholesterol is just a bad thing that clogs arteries. Actually it is an essential component of every cell membrane & the building block for testosterone, cortisol & all steroid hormones. Low cholesterol is much more dangerous than high cholesterol, associated with increased risk of cancer, stroke, depression etc. Low cholesterol is usually a sign of liver problems. See comment:.
