Sorry to hear about all the dietary restrictions. My cholesterol was very high but my HDL/LDL ratios and the triglycerides were amazing. My doctor said my HDL was scrubbing it out faster than the LDL could lay it on. Unfortunately my wife has the exact opposite, low cholesterol but terrible ratios such that her doctor wants her fat intake restricted. I'd like to think my good fortune is related to my chile consumption, sort of an extra blessing from El Grande, but I suspect it has more to do with genetics. Scott... 311, shooting for 400... KCK
