Dr. Sergio Schabelman answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Avoid fried foods?: Diet affects only one third of blood cholesterol. If you need your LDL (Bad) cholesterol lower and you have tried to loose weight/ exercise and avoid fried food or food rich in cholesterol, the next step may be medicines depending of bad/good cholesterol ratio and other risk factors.
