You can't talk about cholesterol as just one thing. There is good, bad and triglycerides (the other bad). I apparently have high triglycerides and have been taking fish oil to help bring that number down. It's also got it's potential down side as supposedly a lot of them are high in mercury. Drinking alcohol is also raises your triglycerides. It seems you just can't win.
Anyway, good health to you.
