When you say high, how high, and what part is high? If this is your first high reading, I would personally try to avoid statins, as they have other deleterious effects on the heart and the rest of the body, but that's just my opinion. Lecithin does help indirectly lower cholesterol by helping to emulsify it, helping it to move more smoothly through the blood vessels. The problem with cholesterol is when it oxidizes, which causes it to stick to the blood vessel walls, narrowing them.
