The third group well their system just liked cholestrol so much it stored all it could get. This article made sense to me. It also occurred to me that something could upset this balance and compensators could become storers.

What I read from Dr. Dean Ornish is that people are born with different numbers of cholesterol receptors. Some people may only have a few while others have many. The more you have, the better able you will be to quickly dispose of excess cholesterol.
What it means for people at risk: Some people, with stubornly high cholesterol, will have to work harder at eating healthier. (Tough luck, life isn't fair.)
