Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had a cholesterol test done in January, it came back at a whopping 300 total cholesterol, 189 LDL, 108 triglycerides, and 85 HDL. I am barely overweight (BMI 24). My ratios were okay but that was really, really high. I didn't want to go on statins, so I eliminated all meat except fish and the occasional piece of white meat chicken, all cheese and full fat dairy, all eggs (except whites) all desserts, sugars, and overly processed foods with a rare cheat here and there. I started doing vigorous exercise (Jillian Michaels Body Revolution) 30 minutes a day plus daily walks/hikes. I added Cholestoff, and increased beans, oatmeal consumption, apples, nonfat dairy, Benechol, almonds, and garlic. Yep, I threw the book at it. And then I got it checked 6 weeks later, I couldn't believe it. I expected maybe a 30 point drop. It dropped 93 points to 207! 129 LDL, 60 HDL and 91 triglycerides. So when the drug ads and the doctors tell you lifestyle changes won't make much of a difference, they are wrong for at least some of us....and nobody paid me or asked me to write this. I can't say how much the CHolestoff contributed, but I think it's reasonable to conclude it had some effect
