Haha, since my mid 20's I had high cholesterol. Very active in sports, lean muscle, minimal body fat. I was checking in in the mid 200's. In my 40's I checked in mid 300's. Went on a statin, large dose, and months later tested in the mid 200's. Tried the niacin etc and did not do anything for me. In my mid 50's I was reading online some med stuff and said "screw it" and went off my statins. A year later I went in for my annual and my cholesterol was almost 400! I am back on statins and I'm keeping it around 270 or so. I eat exactly what my wife does and she is clocking in at 120. So for me its just hereditory and not much I can do about it.
