Genetics is indeed a big part of it.
My FIL was fit, rode his bike 100+ miles per week, and tried to eat healthy to no avail. His doctors asked him to stop the medications for 30 days and they tested him at over 800. Back on statins.
My dad turned 80 and had his yearly physical, his cholesterol was 85. His doctor asked what he does to keep the cholesterol low and he said a bowl of Rocky Road ice cream before bed. I have never had cholesterol issues. Thanks dad for those genes.
