High Cholesterol and Lipids in Very Lean 9yr old

by maya7007, Jun 17, 2009 07:45PM
My duaghter is a very lean and long 9yr old--60 lbs and 55 inches and was told that she has high cholesterol and triglycerides--205 for triglycerides and 186 for cholesterol.  We have only healthy food in the house--lots of fruit, lean meats, veggies and some sweets.  She loves regular cheese and whole milk.  Any explanation for these high numbers?

Would you recommend Skim milk, 1% or 2%?  Should we have mostly low fat food?   Please advise any dietary suggestions that's kid friendly.  She cannot however afford to lose any weight!!   Many thanks
