I am pretty sure its not what i am eating, I live a veray healthy eating lifestyle, I am 26 years old, and less than 9% body fat. I am begining to think that the only answer is that it is genetic. I'm going to a Cardiologist in about 3 weeks to get a professional opinion, i was just worried and wanted to see if there was anything esle that may have been behind this.

Are you sure that it's not because of what you are eating?
When my cholesterol levels were high, I decided to become a vegetarian and try and lower them. However in my early days as a veggie I basically supplemented my diet on things like potato's. All the extra starch caused my triglycerides to go through the roof! So it might be something that you are unaware of that's secretly doing more harm then good.
However if it's not that and you are sure, it could be based on your gene make up. High cholesterol can be hereditary in which case you should consider going on some meds to help reduce it. Check with your Dr.s and your RN to see what you could still be doing to help bring them down on your own.
Best of Luck!

You are correct- it can in fact be genetic, and not based soley on what you eat, but I'd guess for most folks, their diets cause the high levels. My father once had a triglyceride level of 1400 and my brother 875, so it can be very high in some people. Both now take medications and their levels are "high normal" but certainly much lower than they once were. Good luck.

Razwell. I don't know where you got your info from, but, you are wrong. Very wrong. Don't give medical advice especially if you don't know what you are talking about.
To answer your question, it could be genetic predisposition. Maybe try seeing a dietician and find out if ther is more you can do diet wise to improve your triglycerides

High triglycerides is USUALLY caused by diet, but at your level there's doubtless an element of genetics.
Razwell,
You really need to express your opinions without having to insult
others. You stated : "I CAN'T KEEP ON TYPING THIS". We can only hope.
