Duh... Of course organic is better. My question is... What the heck were you feeding your 2 yr old to give him high cholesterol? I swear, people these days have no common sense! Stop being lazy and cook something healthy that doesn't require a microwave.

Organic food is always going to be healthier and more nutritious than processed food. Number one, organic is natural and doesn't have any extra additives in it such as MSG, high fructose corn syrup, trans fat, etc. It may be more expensive, but if health is your concern, and based on your situation, then I would go organic. I don't necessarily know if organic food is guaranteed to reduce cholesterol, but I do understand that you will be better off eating it than processed food. I hope this helps!

No, not any better than non-organic. High cholesterol at age 2? Wonder why anyone would even check his cholesterol at that age? Unless heart attacks are common in your family, I would forget it. Having high cholesterol is not necessarily a health risk. It is for some, but is harmless for others. "Organic food" is a myth. It is a sales gimmick, nothing more.

I'm not sure how much of a difference organic food would make. But a vegetarian diet may be highly beneficial. "You should eat more foods from plants which don’t contain cholesterol such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and avoid foods that contain too much cholesterol like meat, egg yolks and fat milk." I understand your child may be too young for drugs. Check the sources below for natural ways to lower cholesterol.

I have to say i agree with JOHN S. just cook him some home cooked meals, and plenty of fruits and vegetables he should be fine.

In general, organic food isn't going to show much of a difference if he's eating too much fat and sugar. It's like how people who are suddenly diagnosed with a food intolerance like wheat or dairy will eat nothing but gluten free/dairy free foods and wonder why they start gaining weight (personal experience). Cut back on his saturated fat and sugar intake and start feeding him more vegetables. Consider cooking foods with whole, mostly unprocessed oils (extra-virgin) and start using vegetables and fruits as a snack instead of cheerios and crackers (just examples). Also, consider feeding him an apple a few times a day. Apples have soluble fiber (lots of it) and are great kid food. Oatmeal (not instant!) is another great option. I make mine with a bit of all-natural maple syrup. My nephew will only eat oatmeal if it has hot coco powder in it (small price if he eats it). Provided it's not instant oatmeal, because most of the nutrients have been cooked out, oatmeal is healthy enough that you can add quite a bit of sugar to it and not have to worry about it being unhealthy.

It is the way you are cooking and what you are giving him to eat that has given him high cholesterol, and organic food isn't going to solve that. You need to study what are low cholesterol recipes for the improvement of diet for the whole family
