You need to research this carefully.
Facts are coming to light that show
this entire "cholesterol scare" is a
complete scam, and blood cholesterol
levels have nothing to do with heart
disease. However, the dangerous
drugs the big pharmaceutical companies
sell us for cholesterol, (statins, etc)
can actually damage the kidneys and
also CAUSE strokes and heart attacks.
Follow the money. When we see TV ads
day after day pushing "cholesterol lowering
drugs" on otherwise healthy people the
red flags should go up. Like we are being
swindled by the petro-chemical industry.
(Hmmm, I see a few stool pigeons for
big Pharma have already rated me)

Dear Lili,
The simple and short answer to your question is NO!
First, not every person with "genetic cholesterol" will be genetically identified. The cost would be astronomical at the present time. Secondly, abnormally high cholesterol will do its damage whether it's there because of genetic or non-genetic origin. Autopsy studies over 50 years ago showed that the earliest changes of arteriosclerosis of the arteries which leads to coronary artery disease begins in the twenties. Noticeable body damage usually doesn't happen till a coronary artery is about 70% blocked off - and this takes many years. Medicines now available to control cholesterol levels, along with healthier food choices and sufficient exercise are very effective in lowering cholesterol and prolonging lives. Heart attacks are greatly decreased in the past 20 years.
The reason there is so much TV advertising about cholesterol-lowering drugs is that the companies that make them make big profits. Still, the drugs do work, if needed, but they require a doctor's prescription and periodic testing of th patient for possible bad side effects. The increased benefits are worth the small risks involved.
