Some people: "make their own cholesterol" This is sometimes due to "Metabolic Syndrome" ( overweight, Type II Diabetes, and increased LDL and Total Cholesterol. Time to see your GP for some testing! Continue the healthy habits you describe...it helps but sometimes needs an "assist" with medications now available! Hope this help[s! Dr Z
