The HDL, they're finding, isn't as important as the behaviors that go into raising HDL, i.e., it's the exercise, the fish, the veggies, the whole grains that protect your heart, not the resulting HDL increase. If that makes sense.

I did the same thing with my cholesterol a couple of years ago, because I just didn't want to take yet another drug. I didn't go at it as carefully as you are, but my levels were only slightly elevated, so I just focused on eating more veggies, more fiber, and things that claimed to help with cholesterol, such as oat bran. I reduced my meat intake, and ate things like avocados and nuts to increase my "good" cholesterol. It helped, the next doctor's visit my levels were "normal" again. But I haven't been getting tested regularly so I don't know how I'm doing now. My lovely insurance, which covers prescriptions and doctor's visits, does not cover any kind of tests. I just can't afford to worry about it, but I CAN afford to eat right, and I'm going to refocus my efforts. You've inspired me.
