Variable: Could be highly variable and depends on your diet. Fat regardless of its form is mostly broken down to its more basic forms for absorption.

Lipid panel: TC 247, HDL 53, LDL 162, Trig 158. Don't want to go on statins. I have a varied diet but I know I can make some lifestyle changes. Even though these results are partially hereditary will dieting and regular exercise be sufficient?
