Our daughter Helene, who is 46, has lived with us her whole life and eaten food that I have prepared for all of her life. The same food as her father and me. We do eat out but maybe once a week, rarely more. She walks an hour every morning. She weighs 125.

Her cholesterol began to climb last year. Ours have remained much below 200 into our seventies.

Among other things she was born with an elastin gene deletion, part of Williams Syndrome.

I think from what I have read that some people are born with slightly different kinds of genetic makeup that can either give them an edge or a slam in the cholesterol department. Helene has a diagnosed irregularity of genetics.

Just sayin'. And all my sayin' ain't gonna change anyone's mind.
