Unfortunately too much attention is payed to cholesterol, IMHO

There are good cholesterols (hdl) and bad cholesterols (ldl), by uiincreasing hdl the ldl level will be reduced automatically. Besides which high cholesterol doesn't cause as much trouble as doctors have been telling us for the last 66 years or so. Now they say triglycerides are more damaging. Also note that cutting her cholesterol TOO much will increase her cholesterol readings, which may be why cholesterol readings keep rising. Our nerves need cholesterol to make the myelin sheath around each nerve. If there isn't enough in what we eat the body automatically goes into "saviour" mode and overproduces it, just to be sure there's enough, and almost always overdoes it. So eating a reasonable amount of cholesterol is best, particularly hdl.
