Does apple juice affect cholesterol tests?

[QED]

I had planned on getting a cholesterol screening done this afternoon.

From everything I've read you're supposed to fast for 12 hours before the test. When I woke up this morning at 5:30 though, I was thirsty, and being half-sleepy forgot about my test this afternoon and had a glass of apple juice.

Am I really gonna mess up the cholesterol test? Or should I just reschedule my screening (which would be somewhat of a pain)?

i don't think that will be a problem, its just sugar/fructose

It shouldn't, since there aren't any fats in apple juice.

It won't make a difference I don't think. Apple juice unless pure isn't much except corn syrup, flavor and water.

It tastes like crap and is nearly devoid of nutritional value. They have to ADD vitamin C.

I think it tastes good. I like cider better.

Tamarillo juice is my fav.

If it's just cholesterol, then no problem.
However most blood tests give a blood sugar reading anyway - just make sure you disregard yours, or at least tell your doctor about the juice.

nope, wont make a difference. Will make a difference for many other test, but not cholesterol.
