Re: Jody-cholesterol studies

[Guest guest]

Hi Jody-

That hypothyroidism is associated with high cholesterol levels has been

common knowledge for many many years. BUT, there had never been a study on

it. They finally completed one some time last year (I think) and it showed

a clear association. I didn't read the study (didn't see the point since

specialists knew the relationship was there) but the results were published

in the newspaper. I don't know who the authors were or the title of the

study but if you go on medline or pubmed, there will be a fairly recent

study on hypothyroidism and cholesterol (key words that should turn it up).

Take care,

goes us? I know that it does, I am just curious about studies on it. Do

you have any urls on this by chance?
