I found my results and remembered it was asked what they were.
I used mymedlab.
Total Cholesterol: 302
LDL: 243
T. Chol/HDL Ratio: 7.0
Triglycerides: 82
HDL Cholesterol: 43
VLDL Cholesterol Cal: 16
This was after some raw, but before lots of raw, and before vegan. Also before real exercise. But, even for a SAD, sedentary person (which I wasn't) the total cholesterol is in the r

As far as I know, everything has a toxic level, even the best water, or the best food. Toxicities are manifested differently for each substance. Typically, a substance that has a toxic level (a level at which negative effects are noted) that is much greater than would typically be consumed, is considered non-toxic to greater or lesser degrees. Adaptogenic herbs, some of them can be eaten like foo

Thanks for the supportive words guys regarding me and Hashimoto's.
I have been on a tear today reading about lectins in food. I don't remember how I got into it, but boy am I glad I did. I am 90% convinced lectins cause autoimmune disease, including Hashimoto's. They are glycoproteins that attach to cell receptor sites on cell surfaces - and there are tons of them, each specific to different

It originated from the practice of salting sliced cabbages and kneading them until they leaked their juice enough to be pressed down into it and submerged with a weight. The right salt level (broth level) inhibits most all bacteria except lactobacilli. They would then digest the sugars in the juice and turn it into lactic acid, an excellent preservative from all except kahm yeast (nasty tasting b

I can't recall but I think the HDL ratio was mildly bad. My triglycerides are always low because I don't overeat sugar or fat.
There are other causes for hypothyroid. I'd suggest just getting hormone levels checked, not necessarily Hashi's testing until you know if your levels are low first. I don't have insurance either. I went through an online service where a doc-in-the-box signs off on an

loeve,
The discussion by the researchers reflects the data in table 4 rather well. Lower B-12, higher homocysteine, with the vegans having the worst ratio there. Seems pretty clear to me? The "something like that" about low risk is in reference to, among the general population, increased fruit and vegetable consumption being correlated to lower risk. This study highlights a hidden ri

Yep! I know! I'm confused as to why you'd point that out?

This 2005 study indicates that a strict raw vegan diet increases heart attack/cardiovascular disease risk over raw vegetarian or omni diet despite typically low cholesterol levels, and shows the reason why to be B-12 deficiency that manifests primarily by increasing homocysteine.
What do you think?
I think it's time to spread the word about supplementing!
It would seriously suck to lose l

You might consider getting your thyroid checked out. My cholesterol is over 300 and I am vegan, though not 100% raw (it is a goal). I have hypothyroid as a result of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and it causes ridiculously high cholesterol among other bad things. On the other hand, I haven't had my cholesterol checked in a while. I am due to check it again in a month or two. I will up my raw percentag
