[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 931030, member: 13582"] Your GP will tell her that she needs to be on a statin. Have a look at this though; Dr Kendrick on the HUNT2 study. [URL]http://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2012/09/25/silence-was-the-stern-reply/[/URL] According to that your wife is in the perfect spot for CHD/All cause mortality. If she could get her cholesterol up a bit her all cause mortality risk will reduce. Her heart disease risk will rise slightly but not nearly so much as if her cholesterol was under 5.0 which is where your GP wants it. Funny eh? Science isn't magic; if one's theory does not work and does not fit the facts then one's theory is wrong. Cholesterol levels, saturated fat, and the use of statins all require magical thinking in order to conform to the orthodox theory of heart disease and blood lipids. The reason for that is quite simple; the theory is wrong. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
