I have always had good cholesteral readings (Canadian 4.8) After menopause it skyrocketed to 6+. My diet had not changed between those times. So, I went on a very rigid fat free diet, monitored everything I ate, and did a little more excercise, and within 6 weeks it is back at a lower level. It would seem that at this time of my life I have to be a lot more careful as to what I eat and I must keep more active, as it certainly was reflected in my second reading.Good Luck!!
