It was not meant to be callous. I obviously would not group in people who are genetically predisposed to cholesterol problems. However, the majority of us who develop high cholesterol/heart problems can address it through proper diet, smaller servings, and exercise. I view drugs as a last resort. Yes some people do need these drugs. But there are many of us who can do it on our own (without drugs) and be better for it. The less chemicals going in our bodies the better I say.
