The test for a genetic glitch messing with my cholesterol came back negative.

So... I took the food tracking program I've been using & ran reports for the past 90 days showing my cholesterol, saturated fat, and trans fat consumption. AND THERE'S NOT MUCH! The only days I exceeded the amounts recommended for reducing cholesterol levels were a few days when I ate out with friends (and one infamous day when I just flat couldn't resist a run thru the White Castle drive thru...) The vast majority of days are well below the recommend amounts.

And I'm already exercising (brisk walking) 20 to 40 minutes a day.

I don't know what else to try. But I'm not gonna take statins!!!!! Hoping this new doctor may have something to recommend...
