I eat oatmeal, rolled oats actually, winter and summer. I cook a week's worth at a time with apples, almonds, etc. and keep it in the fridge - whack off a chunk every morning and warm it up a little bit, eat it without milk. ( Hate milk so I have to drink it real fast to get it down, oatmeal is too slow.)

Also metamucil every day, start slow and work up so you don't overload on fiber all at once. Your body will get used to it.
Exercise too, as vigorous as you can - but I'll bet you all ready are doing that.
I'm 60 + and my cholesteral is 146.

Give it a try, it's a lot cheaper and more natural than pills. Good luck!
