After starting this diet my cholesterol went up also. So, I read quite a bit about the lipid theory and really tried to find the devils advocate in the establishments published recommendations. I did google searches and searched AHA, CDC, NHBLI, web sites and attempted to ferret out legitamate research that supports the lipid hypothesis. I recommend that other try this. So, the number that sticks out in your stat sheet is the Homocystiene 6.01 11.1. Are these two seperate test or a range. While not very high I would watch for a upward trend and not neglect that reading. I found referances to homocystiene levels and heart disease on many conventional as well as more non-conformist web sites. >From: Mike Knickerbocker <[log in to unmask]> > > >Homocysteine >6.01 11.1 >
