[QUOTE="Lesleywo, post: 857622, member: 112692"] thanks CJ, I am watching this clip ... interesting stuff! Well I saw my integrative GP today. He said I don't have to go on statins. Said there's no evidence to say that women benefit from them. He agreed with me that the 'tool' the GP's use to predict heart disease is outdated and they are used to 'scare the sh*t out of people'. Have to say he succeeded! He said that it's much easier for a GP to prescribe statins than put people on a cholesterol reducing diet. Anyway, I'm to continue on my low sat fat, high soluble fibre Mediterranean Diet, make sure I stick to low GI and will be retested in 3 or 4 months. [/QUOTE]
