OK, I have never been diagnosed with "heart disease" per se, but I have risk factors for it and have been battling bad lipid numbers my whole adult life. So am I considered to have heart disease, or is high overall cholesterol/high bad cholesterol/low good cholesterol not the same thing? I tend to follow advice for people with heart disease.

I'm using ground flax seeds. For me is this a good idea or unnecessary?
