I meant to have added, that maybe you are so healthy that your body doesn't *need* to produce more cholesterol. It certainly sounds like it from your description of your lifestyle. Dee

From what I have read, the liver produces cholesterol in response to the body's need for it, which is why when we get older, it is natural for blood cholesterol levels to be higher. The trouble is, it has been all taken out of context, and researchers have found that the cholesterol thing is only one part of a whole lot of things which could cause heart attacks. It seems likely that the body produces cholesterol to heal itself, so in my opinion, it is best left alone, and certainly not take medications to lower it. Dee
