[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1633299, member: 380756"] I use statins up the yazoo (and take Lipitor 80/d forever myself). But remember what I do: treat coronary disease. People who have been diagnosed with CAD benefit BIGTIME from statins, and statins are about the only thing that's been shown to benefit them other than aspirin and sometimes the antiplatelet drugs like Plavix and Brilinta. If you have coronary disease I don't care what your cholesterol is, you've got a disease that's likely to do you in so you better do something about it before it does. And the vast majority have no side effects from them, they've been around since 1987. Most of the side effects are from the internet lol. As for those of you with no coronary disease you can do what you want. But when/if you get the disease you better start doing something about it. And I don't mean eat more chicken either. OK I'll shut up now! [/QUOTE]
