My doc told me (and I've read it in several other places) that only about 1/3rd of your cholesterol is because of your diet. The other 2/3 is literally genetic disposition.
(David Letterman is a good example..guy kept in good shape, didn't drink, smoke, etc but had the bypass operation 2 years ago. His father died at the age he is now from a heart attack. Letterman joked once that his cholesterol was *400*. Don't know if he was serious or not)
Lipitor (I take) and other statins not only knock the crap out of your cholesterol (for most people), but now they're finding evidence that it may be helpful in preventing different types of cancer too.
Take your lipitor daily! You don't want to mess around with high cholesterol. Get your hdl (good chol) up and your ldl (bad) down.
