Dave- Sometimes it is just your genes. The best diet and exercise is only going to get you about 20%. Depending on family history, blood pressure, or smoking you probably only need to target <130 for primary prevention. If you need drugs- "statins" like Lipitor or Zocor are first line treatments, you can then add niacin or a sequestrant like Questran or go to something like Zetia. Fish oil is an option but really down the list for LDL lowering. Talk to your local pharmacist for the most cost effective option if it goes that way. Good Luck.
