Hi All, My cholesterol is normally in the 160's. A few years ago I experimented with a pure fat diet (e.g. butter on the pork rinds) and brought my cholesterol down to 150. Of course I couldn't keep that up since I'm a carb junkie. Personally, I think a cholesterol of 200 is about right, since apparently people with low cholesterol don't live any longer than people with high cholesterol -- they just die more frequently from accidents, homocides and suicides.
