Its great that obtaining V02max figures is so much easier these days, before there was always a difficulty to work them out exactly

Most of the data I have seen indicates that Nicotinic Acid has the effect of lowering overall cholesterol while increasing HDL. My LDL levels are already in the excellent range, just HDL was too low.

Niacin, I believe, is mostly a HDL raising element, as is exercise and a moderate amounts of wine. Statins lower LDL, though for me they seem to raise HDL as well–an anomoly. Cut out the saturated fats, e.g., whole milk, red meats, cheeses, butter; cut out all trans fats (e.g., in a lot of baked goods). Keep up the unsaturated fats. Fish, nuts, fish oil pills, these help. It’s a lifestyle change, but not a difficult one. I found diet alone, strictly followed, was not enough to keep things in line.
