For what it's worth, maybe nothing, my cholesterol has been high all my life. (I'm 63.) We're talking 300-plus. I have never taken meds for it, and I am one of the healthiest people I know for my age. If I lost 20 lbs. I'd be even more healthy. Unlike my wife who has "healthy" cholesterol levels, I do not have PD. I also tend to side with those researchers and doctors who say that the high cholesterol scare is nonsense. But then, that's not my field--and I cannot make a professional statement in that respect. Perhaps one of the MDs on our list could comment.
