If you're *still* concerned (which I wouldn't be), then flush-free niacin works wonders on cholesterol, along with garlic, fish oil (omega 3), and red rice yeast.

I also eat ALOT of red meats and seafood (shrimp). No effect on my cholesterol at all. In fact, my ratios at my last test were 1.12. Your body makes 80% of its own cholesterol and the remaining 20% is from your diet. Actually, cholesterol is VITAL to the normal functioning of the human body. Doctors have been brainwashed by DRUG COMPANIES WHO PEDDLE THESE EXPENSIVE DANGEROUS DRUGS to pass them out like candy.
Your triglycerides are FABULOUS. Congrats on that! Oh and BTW, most professional doctors agree that its your trigs (blood fats) that contribute most to any sort of heart disease.
