[QUOTE="candyfloss, post: 142387, member: 22319"] I am using an Australian product the same as Benecol because I am abroad. It has made a difference to my cholesterol. On Simvastatin Total Cholesterol 2.8 HDL 1.17 LDL 1.3 Chol/HDL ratio 2.4 Triglycerides 0.8 Off Simvastatin Total C 5.0 HDL 1.25 [b]LDL 3.26[/b] Chol/HDL Ratio 4.0 Triglycerides 1.06 On Benecol equivalent Total C 4.5 HDL 1.4 LDL 2.6 Chol/HDL Ratio 3.2 Triglycerides 0.7 All of these results were in the normal range for the lab doing the testing except for when I stopped using statins and LDL went up to 3.26. However it has now come down to 2.6. I decided to stop taking Simvastatin after reading about all the side effects and negative comments about it and if my cholesterol stays as it is I wont be going back on it (despite what my Doctor may suggest) [/QUOTE]
