WEBMD - Cholesterol Medications: Statins, Nicotinic Acid, Bile Acid Resins and Fibrates, Feb 28, 2012

"Sometimes cholesterol medication is recommended in addition to a low-saturated fat, low-refined carbohydrate, and high-fiber diet to lower cholesterol.
Cholesterol is an important part of your cells and also serves as the building block of some hormones. The liver makes all the cholesterol the body needs. But cholesterol also enters your body from dietary sources, such as animal-based foods like milk, eggs, and meat. Too much cholesterol in your blood can increase the risk of coronary artery disease."
