Message: <blockquote data-quote="LonelyFatGuy" data-source="post: 2629886" data-attributes="member: 553038">When you say you were 'screened' for it, do you mean that you underwent genetic testing...?Also, if it is genetic, why would you expect to see much if any reduction from a drug that only (as far as I've read) helps to reduce cholesterol intake from food...?  (that's the only method of action mentioned on the NHS  website)To what extent is high cholesterol caused by cholesterol in food anyway?  Isn't that the reason they reversed their advice on the consumption of egg yolks years ago;  because they established that dietary cholesterol has very little impact on blood cholesterol?  You can eat as many eggs as you want nowadays, apparently.  If I remember correctly, it would be saturated fat that drives up blood cholesterol, not cholesterol from egg yolks etc.I believe my own cholesterol issues to be genetic also.  5mg Rosuvastatin for me at the minute.</blockquote>
