My overall Cholesterol score is 195

My LDL Cholesterol score is 85.2

I know HDL is the “good” cholesterol, but when I tried to input this number into my health tracker, it denied it saying that it must be incorrect.

Sonnie S asked:

I have been reading up on ways to help raise my HDL (good cholesterol) levels and they recommend using canola and olive oil in your cooking. I periodically like to deep fry, but I try to make this a rare thing because I know this is bad for me.

Would deep frying with canola oil be a healthier alternative? Does it actually make it better for me?
