Thanks for the replies. Very interesting information. My husband's "good" cholesterol is 58, and his "bad" is 35 -- both below the norm. His total cholesterol is 102 (I don't know how they get this number, since it is not a sum of the two). The Wikipedia article is very good, but it doesn't say anything about being vegan as one of the causes for low cholesterol. Either way, I like the idea of telling them to pull their heads out of their statistical asses.
