At least you don't have my "sky-high cholesterol no matter what you eat" gene.

Also artificial sweeteners have an unpleasant chemical aftertaste that lingers for a long time. Apparently that's generic too...

TIL about the artificial sweetener thing, this explains a lot. I have never been able to understand people enjoying diet soda.

Dude, same, and this is the first time I've heard of it. I thought the Diet Dr. Pepper commercials were just being cheeky when trying to compare it to dessert.

My grandfather had low cholesterol no matter what. It was always perfect. This man ate more bacon and had more buttermilk and cornbread than anyone I've ever met in my life.

I have to watch mine pretty closely. Well, I should, but I'll just die horribly and early I guess. The alcohol will get me first anyway.

Hah, my grandfather had heart problems and very high cholesterol so we gave him such a hard time for eating unhealthy food. But now I have been a vegetarian for almost twenty years (I try to avoid eggs and dairy too) and my cholesterol is just as high as his was, unless I take medications. So we should have just let him eat whatever he wanted to...

I find that most sweeteners have the aftertaste, like Canderel and Sweetex, but Hermesetas taste fine. It might be worth trying a few brands and seeing if any work for you

Look at Triglyceride to HDL ratio from the basic test, cholesterol is mostly about statins these days (sugar/carbs in the past), which only help mortality in ppl who've had heart attacks. Look into it.
