My cholesterol is almost 300! It runs in my family, and my Grandmother who is almost 80 struggles with a high c. number. She was on the medicine and it made her ill and so now she takes nothing. I eat reasonably and excersise.Still, my numbers are high. I am only 23 and will not take the medicine. Some people think that high cholesterol numbers are normal and the medicine is unnessary. I don't know what to think. I am taking Niacin (a suppliment) to help reduce my number. What do you think? My doctor told me to stop eating red meat and all dairy products. I'm not sure that is good either. Any comments?
