A heart preventative - hmm sounds serious. It seems diet doesn't do much for cholesterol levels as the liver will mostly compensate for it. only statins do anything. Yes HDL high and LDL low although some people think the whole thing is bollocks. Pertinent to this board though is the fact that statins can cause depression. It's thought coenzyme Q-10 depletion is the cause of many side effects so supplementing with this has been suggested
