A member asked:
I have 209 total cholesterol: 134 ldl, 56 hdl, 90 trig. will intro. of daily fish oil supplement help lower my total cholesterol levels? thank you!

Total cholesterol: Please do what your doc says but I see no reason at all to lower your cholesterol. High quality marine fish oil is good for lots of things and will lower your trig. which are already fine. If cholesterol goes too low there can be problems. Just enjoy what you have. Peace and good health. Please don't go low fat w/diet and please do eat eggs.
