What causes high cholesterol?
Genetics account for a big share; the rest is saturated fat intake, low fiber, excess weight, and inactivity. LDL under 100 mg/dL is the usual target for healthy adults.
Follow-up questions
Are eggs bad for cholesterol?
For most people, dietary cholesterol has a small effect. Saturated fat matters more.
Do statins have side effects?
Muscle aches are the common complaint; serious effects are rare. Benefits usually outweigh risks for people with real cardiovascular risk.
