I recently had a cholesterol screening and was not happy with the results I had already begun increasing my fiber and watching the type of food I was eating but the website simply indicates a GREAT step to d/c cholesterol is to
Ditch the trans and saturated fat. I am working on it and hope in 6 months my cholesterol is down to where it should be.
