[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1885573, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]'Oh, don't worry - that's just a huge amount of cholesterol packed in there, destroying the cells - don't worry about it.' (Said ironically! Of course!) What a hoot! (Not really, but I have to say that. Otherwise, when I think about doctors generally prescribing statins to people with diabetes, as part of standard primary care, I should cry.) I thought at first this would be a good vid to direct folks to, who want to know more about the 'should I take statins or not?' question, and the general statin controversy. I do think Nick Mailer is a great communicator, but I would say - watch the beginning, to the point it loses you, and then fast-forward towards the end, especially at the points where the fungi enter the picture. Then you get the gist without the detail, unless of course - the detail grabs you too. And then I would say - good on ya mate! Well done. But yes, good to see how statins are robbers of essential thingie-me-bobs in the mevalonate process. How that happens, more than just 'sharing the same pathways', which was my understanding before. Thanks again [USER=48386]@Indy51[/USER].[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
