I have tried all sorts of diets to lower my cholesterol. Tried various supplements too. Over the last 10 years of experimentation, I have found only one thing that makes a real difference....Statins. I think for many people, they are the best "solution", that is, if you consider your cholesterol to be a problem. We simply make more in our bodies than others do. It is genetic, and runs in families.
I still experiment with differnt things, so that my kids will have some kind of idea what works for us.

The pendulum swings from genetic to environmental(ie food intake)
statins are like a life-saver for those who have no other recourse to genetic predisposition. My Point, I agree with you fully.
