I just had my cholesterol tested today with a 12 hour fast. Levels were, Total 321, HDL 67, LDL 226 TRI 143 Ratio 4.8. I am 43 healthy and active. I would prefer to lower this myself and not take daily meds. After some research I see that caffine has some effect, I have one diet Coke a day. I have heard Red Rice Yeast will lower the total. Where can I buy it? Does it work? Any other suggestions for someone who does take this very seriously and is going to work his butt off to lower the totals? Thank You Very Much for your thoughts and guidance.
