The need for Cholesterol levels (or something like them) to be meaningful is stronger the evidence that lowering them is useful. You're probably better ignoring them, and just getting regular exercise instead.

Yeah, at the time, I exercised 4-5 days a week, with intense cardio and a bit of weight training. Even with that my cholesterol levels were at an unsafe level, and we were beginning to see odd side effects. Those side effects were enough for me to decide to switch.
