Not a great lot.. Jazz, People who think they are better than others..
Well lets give everyone something to think about...

2 cups of Earl Grey tea has the same effect as a statin, so do you drink tea? I drink Earl Grey and I take simvistatin, however my cholesterol levels are as follows:-

LDL 1.9

HDL 1.8

total Negligable normally but 3.2 at present..

I'm T2 injecting Insulatard MR 26units am & 34 units pm..

Bs levels of between 8.2 & 16.8 ( hosp ok with my levels as they will never go below 8.2)

regards

Peter

Some green tea is awful, the brand Clipper is one of them. I get my green tea from Holland & Barrett, it's a brand called Double Dragon and it is really delicious and refreshing, not cheap at £1.93p for 20 but well worth it in my opinion :)
