A member asked:
Will a glass of wine help my fasting cholesterol test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No: Alcohol causes a dramatic rise in triglycerides. You should not drink alcohol for at least 24 hours before having your blood checked for cholesterol levels. Studies have shown moderate red wine consumption for 4 weeks is associated with desirable changes in hdl-c ( good cholesterol). Compared with drinking water.
