whoever was intelligently discussing the subject with you. Any insight into my questions about anticoagulation and immunosuppresion?

If you want a bonus question: I had my cholesterol profile done and it appears that despite my slight overweight status and my propensity to eat every unhealthy fat possible, my cholesterol is low (140) and my HDL and LDL are in the ideal ranges. (I'm 37 years old and female.) Meaning the ones that everyone else strives for. This is obviously a genetic trait because my mother has the same profile. We are just not a "heart disease" family.

Does this mean that I may not be a person who is in need of the blood-fat benefits of taking omega-3 fatty acids? Or is that question just way too hard to speculate on?

A bonus-bonus question: I spoke to the resident who was treating me a year and a half ago (he was also a horse's a**) about the correlation between low cholesterol and depression. He pooh-poohed the idea, saying that 140 is not low. From my research it appears that 140 in a non-athletic person with an average American junk-food diet is teetering on abnormally low. Any opinion?
