Just a side note on cholesterol and your hubby.........My "bad" cholesterol was somewhat high - 230 and it should be below 200 - so my doctor put me on Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules (2400 mg per day total - one 600 Mg with meals and one at bedtime) - and within a month it was down to 203. Inexpensive and over the counter and it works! Also oatmeal will lower it - however I just can't go oatmeal or Cheerios everyday for breakfast - it gets old real quick!!!
