I had heart issues five years back.
My doctor has been monitoring my cholesterol (etc.) since.
Total cholesterol averages 170.

Last year she said I needed to change my diet, I eat a lot of meat and bacon/hot dogs/bologna is my favorite, - my good cholesterol was too low and my bad cholesterol was too high.

For six months I avoided bacon and other processed pork while attempting to eat more plants.
My total cholesterol went up to 215. Bad cholesterol went up faster than the good cholesterol.

Went back to meat - total cholesterol came back down to 170.
I say "Eat the Meat"
maybe eat a plant once in a while.
