Sorry — I got carried away. We all have areas where we don’t realize we’re being unclear.
Let me try again:
Here’s my understanding:
1. High cholesterol in children is usually genetic.
2. Some people think all kids should be tested, not just kids who have a known family history.
3. Others don’t recommend universal screening of kids because there’s not yet enough information about whether this is worthwhile. (This includes an important advisory organization.)
For adults, of course, it’s much more complicated...
