Personally, I think the bigger issue is what your LDL is. Good beats bad all the time. Just as an example, my cholesterol was never over 110 ( drives my wife nuts) but my LDL was always under 40. Then I had an MI 17 years ago and every doctor assumed my cholesterol was high. The higher your LDL the better your arteries will be since it undoes what high cholesterol damages. Just a thought.

A cardiologist once told me naturally high cholesterol was not that important. I think your cardiologist is correct. Recent studies have shown that for many people, statins can cause more harm than good. Like you, I have no use for their side effects and tossed them all out, years ago. I've also always had high cholesterol, with no negative repercussions. Besides, cholesterol is good for brain health. :-)
