My doctor sells a natural supplement with red yeast, plant sterols, and Q10 that is supposed to work as well as statin drugs. From what I read, they make statin drugs from red yeast – and it is really the same thing. It is much less expesive too. Even with my health insurance, I pay about $40 a month for the supplement vs. $120 for a statin medication. It is something to ask a doctor about.

A lifelong exercise nut and healthy eater, I could not escape my genetic destiny for elevated LDL. I beg to differ about not being concerned about cholesterol which contributes to plaque in our arteries. I’ve just recently been placed on a low dose of Lipitor which did the trick. Knowing that I’ve decreased my risk for heart disease is “heartening”…Vicki, that is wonderful your approach works for you…for many, diet and exercise just don’t cut it.

Lowering cholesterol is of little or no health benefit. Exercise and natural food diet is generally a good thing, but worrying about cholesterol is just nonsense – we’ve been duped. Butter was framed! Read Eat Fat, Lose Fat by Mary Enig to get a full explanation of the fallacies behind the lipid hypothesis of heart disease.

I’m Healing on a high saturated fat diet – mostly butter, coconut oil and meat. Healthier and thinner now and with lower blood pressure.

I was able to lower my cholesterol eating more natural foods and less processed foods. I eat many of the foods that you listed in the post.

Along with a better diet, I have also been on an exercise program for the last year.

Between the two – my cholesterol is much lower
