Could drinking wine or eating peanuts interfere with lipid profile results?
Yes, it can; especially if you are hypersensitive to alcohol, and by that I mean if your lipid and/or triglyceride levels rise quickly when you consume alcohol. I would speak with your physician and ask them this question to see if they feel that drinking wine or eating peanuts may have an impact on your lab results. Your physician may want to know more about your concerns and it may help explain why the results of some recent lab work are inconsistent with previous results. I am also speaking from personal past experience. My lab results were an indicator of how sensitive I was to alcohol. If I drank alcohol anytime in the three months before my lab work, it would increase my lipid and triglyceride levels 2 to 3 times normal,... and "normal" for me was in the 400 to 500 range!
