I won't say a word about the sugar, but will say something about the cholesterol:
My cholesterol is quite high, but the ratios are good, so my GP doesn't worry about it. He is also aware -- hallelujah! -- that some eating disorders cause elevated cholesterol.
The point being, the reason for the elevated cholesterol is as important as the numbers themselves, when it comes to treating it. And the ratios count, too.
Hope that helps...
