Couple of years ago I have lived in Korea for one month. Their daily food doesn't include produced salt, sugar and carbs. If you want salt you have to eat ocean algae. If you want sugar grab some fruit juice. Do you need carb, go get a steamed rice. Also they consume lots of gabbage usually in Kimchy form which I believe helps to decrease LDL levels. I know because after returned back my LDL levels were in normal levels. Normally I am suffering from high LDL. In my experiments (on my own) I can say that walnut and stinging nettle also helps to lower bad cholesterol. (btw I don't have medical profession, don't get this as advice.) I saw lots of people who eats animal fat all the time and have low levels of LDL. Even though I did diet, I couldn't maintain LDL in normal levels. I have to use medication. I believe it is highly related with genetic factors and somehow some people's body couldn't handle things as expected. A bug that we cannot fix. The only way is monkey patching.
