Yeah, I was told the same thing re my high cholesterol. I was also told that it is impossible to reduce cholesterol by more than 10% through diet alone.Turns out most GPs have very little nutrition training at college - I dropped it by 70% in 12 months by cutting out animal products.

If you have similar medical issues as your parents it may well be that you have the same diet!
