Marilee,
Sorry if someone has answered this, I'm behind and got kicked off, so
probably missed something.
I had a similiar cholestrol question and Dr. Elizabeth Williams
answered it. To paraphrase, lactation doesn't effect LDL but does
raise HDL. therefore, it is increased total cholestrol. JAMA Feb 17,
1989, VOL261.
