I've been on this cholesterol journey for more than 40 years now, having worked with multiple MD,s cardiologists, dieticians: for most people, diet can lower cholesterol by about 10%. So if your total cholesterol is around 200, you may be told to "watch your diet", but when your cholesterol is over 400 and LDL over 250 (me), there's genes and family history that plays a larger part that anything I can eat. Even with my "unamerican diet" as my doctor tells me, and with 80 mg statin and ezitimibe (Zetia), I still can't get my LDL number low enough with adding another drug (now Rapatha injections).

@mayoconnectuser1 Hence my statement is correct?
