What's important is your triglyceride/hdr ratio, as that is an indicator of the size of your LDL particles in your blood. In the first test, your ratio was 203.8/36.8 = 5.53. In the second test your ratio is 99/31.4 = 3.15. Less than 3 is ideal, anything over is an increased risk of heart disease. So the second numbers are much better.</p> Total cholesterol is pretty much useless as a marker for anything.

I drink tea all day long, while at work. I do it to keep myself hydrated, and also for the many health benefits they offer. As I was reading your post I was thinking, ok now I will drink more cinnamon tea, currently I am an anise and green tea kind of girl ;)</p> <p>Then I wondered, ok if I drink anise in the morning, green tea around noon and cinnamon tea in the afternoon do they combine powers and become a super tea inside my body...or do they cancel each other out? Do you think it would be better do designate one day to green tea, one to anise and one to cinnamon? </p> <p>That being said, I am currently at work now staring at the bottom of my cup thinking maybe all this tea is just making me crazy??</p> I love herbal teas!
