I have no idea what units blood cholesterol is measured in I just
know that 5.5 is pretty bad and 2.5 is pretty good.

5.5 ain't so bad. 8.6 is bad. (Don't ask me how I know...)

The year before last, 6.0 was OK

it isn't now

So a change of goalposts gives me a high cholesterol level now


This wasn't a change of goalposts.

BTW, the same thing has happened with BMI in recent years.


If you mean Body Mass Index its a totally discredited system. I have the
same BMI as did Arnold Schwarzenegger when he won the Mr Olympia for the 7th
time.
