Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol concentrations for vegetarians
were 21% and 16.4% lower than in meat-eaters. But some biomarkers
considered beneficial €”including vitamin D concentrations €” were lower
in vegetarians, while some considered unhealthy €” including
triglycerides and cystatin-C levels €” were higher.

So, it looks like you are all right!


If my cholesterol were any lower, I'd be classed as hypocholesterolaemic! I eat butter, cheese, meat, fish, ...

I suspect that thyroid hormone levels are more closely associated with cholesterol levels than vegetarian/vegan/meat-eating.
