Anyone use milled flaxseed?

And don't forget that trans fats are the worst of all as far as having bad effects on cholesterol levels and clogging arteries! I would advise staying completely away from them whenever possible.

BTW, Crankin--I wouldn't get too hung up on the "high" total number if your HDL and triglycerides are good. As far as I understand, it's more the ratio than the total that is important. At my last physical, for example, my total was 207, HDL 82, LDL 107 and triglycerides 89. The doctor wrote on the lab results that this was "very good" even though the total was technically a little high. Seems I take after my mother in the cholesterol department--her total is always a little high but the HDL is really good so it's fine.
