I have had a total cholesterol of 129 but that is considered really low, and usually it is about 160 (I don't eat red meat). I have actually read that there are some problems with extremely low cholesterol....but a big portion of this is genetics. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 No , the numbers are correct. Because of my heart problems, he said it is critical to keep it 100. They treat it agressively when you have had open-heart surgery.
