Would you say my cholesterol is good or bad?
I usually eat little – to no foods with saturated fats or trans fats & I usually eat foods that have polyunsaturated and/or monounsaturated. Would you say my cholesterol is good or bad? or does it depend on the ratio of good cholesterol to bad?
Hi Healthnut,
I recommend you have cholesterol lab work to check your levels. Much better than guessing and there are more diet and lifestyle factors that impact cholesterol than fats. Your physician could order the lab work or you could watch your local area for a health fair to complete a cholesterol screening.
All the best,

I would say good. However, without knowing a few tiny little things like whether you are male, or female, age, weight, height, and family history, I can’t be sure.

It depends on how your liver breaks down fats. Dairy is also a food that is bad for cholesterol.
