Yay for your cholesterol numbers improving! When I was a vegan, I had a cholesterol test done and the nurse actually said, "DAMN!" because my results were so good (that will naturally happen if you're vegan because you aren't eating any cholesterol from animal foods), but even when I started eating the allergy diet and wasn't vegan anymore, the number didn't change by much. I eat so much yogurt, maybe all those probiotics are why, since they're on your list! :)
I'm guessing you meant to post under @shanibeer with this but I'm commenting here anyway!! Mwa ha ha! ;)
