Back when I stopped taking Mevacor, Kaiser wanted me to go onto a diet program they recommended. I have mostly always gotten a decent amount of exercise. I tried that for quite a while with no results. Each time after that I would get my cholestoral tested & have a high number, they would send me a letter wanting me to go onto that diet program. One time I sent a letter back stating what I'd done to lower it - diet, exercise, Niacin, medication, etc. They sent an answering letter saying some people had a naturally high cholestoral level without other factors (bad diet, overweight, lack of exercise, etc.) and lived out their lives to the fullest to an old age. Go figure.
