that’s good if true, because no matter what they do, they weren’t able to lower mine one iota. my doctor seems deathly afraid i’m going to die of a heart attack.

Your health is TOO important to leave to doctors. Do your research.
#1 LDL Cholesterol (the supposedly BAD cholesterol) comes in may varieties. Really particle size is the most crucial. Small LDL can lodge in your heart arteries and cause problems over time. The large, not so much.
#2 My old boss was feeling poorly so he a complete physical. Blood panels, EKG and doing the treadmill thing with heart monitor. You know what they found? Nothing. Said he was in perfect health and MOST importantly his cholesterol was perfect. A week later he died at home from a heart attack in front of his wife at the dining room table.

What kind of diet do you have? I usually start my day off with 2 eggs, (chicken) bacon and half of an avocado. Try to avoid carbs and sugars and just eat as healthy as you can. And make sure you do some exercise everyday. I walk. A lot.

Mr. mm’s grandmother had a cholesterol in the mid 300’s.

She lived to be in her mid-90’s.
