Lisa--I'm curious about the same thing but I have more information about my cholesterol than it appears Mizzemm does. My Total Cholesterol is 224, putting me in the "borderline high" category." But here's the kicker; my HDL is 96, so my TC/HDL Ratio is beyond good--it's VERY low. Triglycerides are below 45.  So, should I be worried?  I can't get a straight answer; my primary care doc doesn't seem worried but every other physician I've ever mentioned this to goes through the roof and tells me that at my age (62) I should consider going on medication to lower my cholesterol.  I'm normal weight (5'9"/155 lbs.), very physically active and have low RHR (52), BP of 118/68 and so on.  The idea of medication is simply abhorrent to me--but if it really is called for, I'd do it.
