1:1 Cholesterol Ratio? Posted: 05-03-07 10:41am


I just got my lab results back and I've improved my cholesterol even more. Right now, I'm at HDL: 96 and LDL: 110 (last year it was 84/118). I'm wondering if it is possible to reach a 1:1 ratio (HDL:LDL), and if at some point I can have too much HDL. Can HDL be higher than LDL? I'm sure I can lower my LDL pretty easily - every Wednesday I eat two 3/4lbs hamburgers in one sitting and that can't be good! Also, how common is it to find someone with an HDL of 96? Thanks!

Im not 100% sure but i dont think you can.

But HDL is good to have lots becuase it reverses the cycle of atherosclerosis
