I wonder about the other side of the ledger. That is, OK, cholesterol might be, and frankly remain, on the high side. But recall the news about salmon, grape juice (and moderate wine) and stuff like that. What if you just zero in on those dietary inputs (like the aforementioned, and there are many others I think -- garlic is one, no? -- and of course there's the (low-dose) aspirin regime too) which are known to be positives with regard to arterio ... uh, problems ... and regularly consume above-average (though still moderate of course) amounts? Mightn't this possibly "balance the ledger" and reduce anxiety regarding this topic?

Hey, I claim no expertise, just some thoughts. I wish my behavior was always as rational as my thoughts when it comes to these matters!
