Thank you for that explanation. I wasn't aware that CO would raise both HDL and LDL. I am not overly concerned about my cholesterol since the ratios are still in the normal range, although my triglycerides did go up from 71 to 88 (Total 263; HDL 68; LDL 177). Of course, my doctor wants me to take meds for this but from what I have read I'm afraid they may do more harm than good. I do remember reading in the book that EVCO oil is supposed to be good for cholesterol and a whole lot of other things and that is why I want to continue it. Maybe I just need to cut out the cream, bacon, cream cheese, etc. Thanks again for the info.
