[QUOTE="rogbert, post: 31630, member: 12373"] Hi Everyone There seems to be some confusion in how to lower your high cholesterol levels. Since I first started taking these drugs some 35 years ago I was put on a low fat low sugar diet for the first year .When this had no effect my rates were 14 for cholesterol and 12 for triaglisorols(not sure I have spelt it right) .Now after all these years I'm down to 4.8 and 3.I dont believe you can lower it solely by diet and eating certain foods like benicol.I 'm afraid drugs are the only answer.I'm on Atorvastatin max dose and Fenorfrebrate max dose.I know statins do have side effects and most drugs do but the benifits far outway the effects. Good day Rog [/QUOTE]
