Adele, it is news to me [and I usually hear of such things] that a high-carbohydrate diet can contribute to high cholesterol. I'm not questioning it...just news to me...and I have a high carbohydrate diet [Mediterranean style], yet eat no meat and try to avoid the wrong kinds of fats most of the time. My cholesterol levels are just on the borderline of OK and not OK. I'll try some of what you suggest above. My doctor just said to cut down on cheese - nothing more. I did know about the Omega-3 oils and do try to take them in. Sadly, I have found in recent years since I was made rather poor that it is much harder to have healthy eating habits with less money.
