Suffering from low HDL

Alcohol Consumption Raises HDL Cholesterol Levels

No limit on how many times you can fill that one glass, right?

The chart I consulted says anything over 2.6 is in the warning zone.

I'm very skeptical of that chart you posted. Do you remember where it came from?

The standard advice on these ratios is:
TC/HDL under 5.0
Trig/HDL under 3.0
LDL/HDL under 4.5

I just had another lipid panel ans m HDL dropped from 50s to 40s but my total went from 250 to 160 in three months. All I did was remove foods high in saturated fat that had no nutritional value. I dropped 15 pounds in the process.
