[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 167696, member: 18023"] Nothing I had did in the past seemed to have much of an effect (positive or negative) on HDL. My HDL has been 31-46 since 1992. I consume at least a tablespoon of cocoa powder a day, it seems to have little effect. I put a teaspoon in my coffee and now like the flavor. Once I started the wine, my HDL rose over 40%, this is more than expected from wine alone. I usually have ~ 8oz. Perhaps there was a synergic effect? On a Sat I usually have 1-3 beers. I think it's important to do it daily. Alcohol is strongly related to a reduced CVD risk, they are not entirely sure why, but a rise in HDL is thought to be one reason. The only physical change I have noticed is an increased tolerance for drinking. But it's only been since march of 2019 that my HDL rose, maybe my next cardiac heart scan will show a positive change, not that my last score of 119 was very high, it would be nice if it didn't go up any more. Even if a higher HDL doesn't help, on paper it's nice to have it elevated, sort of one thing to cross off the list of health indicators. Of course, like all drugs, too much alcohol is harmful.
