Most often high cholesterol & high triglycerides are caused by too many simple carbs & sugars.

A vegan/vegetarian diet is not the answer, which is riddled with deficiencies unless one tries very hard to combine certain foods (which is not attainable or realistic for many people). A whole food/meditaranean diet with healthy fats is. And it’s more realistic.
