Had my cholesterol checked about 6 weeks ago. Came in at 5.9 (a tad high they said.. check diet).
I avoided fry-ups (not that I ate them much anyway), all egg dishes, and I drank one Flora Pro-Active drink per day. After 4 weeks, the level was down to 5.48 (Almost the 10% suggested!)
By the way, between 4 and 5 is considered good, anything more is high, and the CAA limit is 6.5.
