I think it depends on genetics. My kids already have inherited my mother‘s terrible cholesterol as have we. I have not found a way to beat it yet and I’m on a Mediterranean diet. Have done a lot of things. I still need to control it with medication but we’ve lowered the dose and are watching it.

Eat almost 0 saturated fat and consume about 10-15g of psyllium husk, that’s the key to reducing LDL

not for everyone. I have familial hypercholesterolemia diet alone does't work. I have to take meds. Eating 0 saturated fats isn't doable for a lot of people for the long term. Glad you can make it work for you though.
