Also it would be interesting to know the actual numbers before
starting LC, how long she was on, etc. The statement " A friend had
to stop LC because of her cholesterol readings" could mean a lot of
things. Including just telling a Dr they were doing LC and the Dr
telling them that with their chol history, LC was going to make it
worse.
