I'm going to echo what Thorn said about Mercola's website. Lots of people consider him a bit of a nut. Much of what he says is based on his wish to sell stuff. I also periodically check Dr. Weil's site. Admittedly he sells stuff too,but he has a much better reputation.

Your cholesterol sounds excellent to me.
I'd focus on continuing to exercise and eat well- and not worry about it any more than that.

Hi Emily,
I have low cholesterol. I've always had low cholesterol, probably because I don't like meat that much. And I've had a high fiber diet most of my life.
I asked my doctor if my cholesterol could be too low. He said "NO!", that my cholesterol is fine. I am very healthy, except for arthritis in my spine, and the arthritis is mild, not severe. I've never suffered from depression or anxiety or any type of mental disorder.
My last cholesterol was:
Total - 109
Trigs - 110
HDL - 46
LDL - 41
My cholesterol has been under 150 for the last 20 years, and under 120 for the last 5 years.
