Go for it. Those total cholesterol numbers may indicate nothing more than a high LDL/HDL ratio. Which is more impt, total or ratio?

My understanding is that lower TriG is a key indicator or risk. High total cholesterol may be associated with high trig, meaning high total cholesterol is not the driver.

Finally, high cholesterol may be associated with inflammation which the Dr.s really don't understand yet (other than know that it is impt.) That would mean that high cholesterol is no more related to CHD than a fireman to the fire.

So, go ahead and say more.
