I know in my family member's case who had high colesterol no matter what she ate and how much she exercised etc.... the docs could not get it down - even though super vigilant with diet, etc., supplements, etc... I think for some of us its truy a genetic issue
Exactly!!! And in those studies that was looked at too. I'm bad at explaining things like this unless I have the article(s) right in front of me. But there's more criteria to any condition than just the numbers...
