Well I must tell you what other here will not....and that is that sitting in front of your computer for many hours is for sure a bad habit when it comes to reducing cholesterol. So less SH4 and more exercise is a good choice
I think the most realistic diagnosis about cholesterol is the one I received from a friend who is a medic. Thus he adviced me as friend, not just as medic...he said: "The human body was not created for a lack of exercise. All those diets and pills against being fat and/or high "bad" cholesterol levels (Fat & cholesterol do not always come together BTW) are just a bad & cheap remedy for what our body really demands: EXERCISE, SPORT, MOVEMENT"
I have noted along the years that when going to a sports center three days a week and eating whatever I like (Even the dreaded McDonald's burgers) my cholesterol and weigth have always been in fact lower than when sitting a lot at home and eating a diet.
Well I said it, now you can start shooting at me

but that's the truth!!

PPS. The last bottle of unfiletered I found was Spanish! It was still pretty good though.

That doesn't amaze me because as everyone in the business knows, the spanish olive oil is the best in the world, even better than the "famous" italian and greek ones. The italian oil from sicilia is really really good, but other zones lack so much in production and quality that in fact they buy tons of oil here to mix with theirs. So you might probably have been already taking spanish oild for a long time. Sadly we in Spain have less marketing than the italians....

And yes, pure olive oil is good against cholesterol, as also is "blue" fish (Sardina, atun, salmon, boqueron, anchoa etc...sorry I don't know the names in english), because both are rich in "positive" or "good" cholesterol.
