My husband's best friend died of a heart attack at age 46. Investigation

after the fact showed some sort of hereditary thing (I cannot tell you the name,

but perhaps someone on the list knows), and all his sibs and kids decided to

get themselves checked out. Only his son was not at risk for the same thing.

Both sisters and his daughter were found to have this problem as well, sky-high

cholesterol--and they were all pretty healthy eaters. I recall the daughter in

particular, who is a physical therapist, was totally physically fit and quite

thin and trim. Yet even with stringent alterations in her diet, she was not

able to significantly bring down her cholesterol and had to go on medication to

control it.

At that time (about 20 years ago) I do not recall there being any

scuttlebutt, tho, going around about flaxseed meal. Perhaps a regimen including

that

would have helped. I know others have reported good results from it these days.
