      Hi burnit,

      Cholesterol is a weird one…..being overweight doesn’t necessarily mean you will have high cholesterol, and if you do losing weight doesn’t necessarily mean your cholesterol will come down! Obesity is a HUGE problem (excuse the pun) so anything that can help tackle it would be great. At the end of the year I am moving to Australia to start a project that is, amoung other things, going to be looking at heart disease in the obese, hopefully that stuff will be more applicable.
