What can cause high cholesterol? (Beside obesity)

Question

I’m going to go ahead and say- I’m ignorant when it comes to stuff like this. And no I haven’t been back to the dr yet but I plan to soon.
My BMI is 20.3
I don’t eat anything with cholesterol in it.
My LDL cholesterol is 112mg/dL
And my chol/HDL Ratio is 2.9
Can someone explain to me?
Probably a stupid question too, but could drinking a lot of almond milk cause it?
Or eating mainly clif bars and peanut butter

Answer

Your diet, your genes. Eating a tons of eggs, cheese, etc. I don't know all the high cholesterol foods.

Dairy, fats, oils.... processed foods for sure such as cookies, cakes, chips, crackers. Not eating whole foods like fruits and veggies.

Answer

It's highly doubtful that there is no cholesterol in anything you eat and if that is true then you need to re-evaluate your diet because some cholesterol is necessary for proper brain function. Also, being obese doesnt cause high cholesterol, you are just more likely to if you are obese due to dietary choices. Eating a diet high in saturated fat, not exercising enough, and/or having a generic pre-disposition for it is what can cause it.

Answer

Genetics.
