Anyone else with very low cholesterol?

My DH is really into Dr. Mercola, but I agree that he is pretty extreme. OTOH, he was talking about the dangers of soy vis-a-vis thyroid and other issues way before I read it anywhere else, and turns out he was right on that one (http://thyroid.about.com/cs/soyinfo/a/soy.htm). He is also very anti-Splenda, so DH has banished it from our pantry. We used to eat a lot of it.

Anyway, I'm still not sure, but I definitely don't want to have a stroke! I figure I'll try the supplements for a few months as it's a small price to pay, and if my numbers don't change, then I won't waste my money. BTW, the supplements I ordered are not from Dr. Mercola; they are from another site based on what he said he takes (http://www.totalsupplement.net/shop/...op=1&itemid=31). Course, he may well get kickbacks from them, but he didn't link to them -- I had to find them on the web.

We'll see. Thanks for all the replies!

oh terrific.... i have to go read this article, now.... i changed to soy milk because of the lower fat/lower calorie content and we use splenda..... *sigh*

and i'm another with really low cholestoral... but i attributed it to my lifestyle of exercise and eating properly (for the most part) so i'm off to read that one, too!
