Thanks for link. Druff's brother is a cardiologist btw..
From a recent short conversation with my brother about it, he said that he still doesn't recommend any medication for high triglycerides, but that might change in not too long.

I am unaware of the medication that Edward Teach is on. I can ask him about it if you want.

I am living proof that total cholesterol and LDL are mostly genetic. I eat a lot of sugar and fat, and do not exercise. Lifestyle-wise, I should have bad cholesterol, yet my total is 142 and LDL is 80 -- both excellent numbers. And both have actually IMPROVED (albeit only a small amount) over the past 7 years.
