Hi Will,

As others have pointed out you do have good numbers. But the story of
Cholesterol is far more controversial due to all the recent research.
As far as I am concern I will take Vitamin D along with doing what ever
I can to keen my numbers above safety. Being a Vegan its a bit easier I
guess although I am not convinced that less cholesterol in diet
reflects it in the blood. Compound the facts with what the big pharmas
want to sell by raising big warnings one really needs to look at the
deeper issues. Alan S had posted an excellent reference here about
size of LDL molecule (indirectly seen by Trig/HDL ratio) was another
risk predictor!

Anyway here is another link that supports the Vitamin D theory!

Dr Cranton is a quack of the top echelon. Click on the Topics button to see a list of
frauds and quackeries. The top one, and the subject of his best-selling book is an
untested method of preventing people with arterial plaques from getting proper treatment.

He also does the hyperbaric oxygen and mercury removal frauds. This is a man who never saw
someone else's wallet without coveting its contents.
