Interfering with your blood cholesterol, specially with medicines can damage your health. Cut down on smoking, and talk to 90 year old people to learn about healthy habits and healthier food. Learning from people who may themselves have average health is unwise. Or if you wish you can discuss with me on phone. Best wishes.
