Thanks Allen,
Then there are those that have naturally high cholesterol. My younger son's
ranges right below 250, but that is 50 pts lower than when we were on a low
cholesterol diet given us by a nutritionist recommended by his Dr. So far I
have refused to put him on the cholesterol lowering drugs they keep pushing.
Other than his cholesterol he is a healthy happy 10 year old. His exercise
level is definitely on the high side. His father's high cholesterol is lower
since cutting out carbohydrates, maybe his will too. Getting a 10 year old
to give up sugar will be a challenge. It is part of the reason I am giving
up sugar too, that and I feel better without it. Maybe he will learn by
example if nothing else.
