Question
Hello!
My husband has slightly elevated cholesterol levels (the bad one) and has changed his diet, exercizes, and is not overweight (185 lb at 6'1", 50 years old).  We eat hot air popcorn each night with becel margarine.  Is there a better type of margarine for him?
thanks!
C. Robinson

Answer
Margarine of any kind is NEVER good. It is plastic, a synthetic.  It is always better to do butter, better yet mix 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil.
You want to remember the year lipitor came out good cholesterol was 225.
You also want to know cholesterol is NEVER the issue. The body produces cholesterol to help with toxins and pestidices in the body. If cholesterol is high then work with the toxins.
O blood types usually have higher cholesterol as they are meat eaters.

Hope this helps.
