I certainly am not worried about higher cholesterol levels based on the links you've provided and the studies I've read. I agree with you and Ivor Cummins 100% but I couldn't convince my GP or Specialist this was the case. Even though I was presenting medical articles, I got accused of being a 'Daily Mail reader' is not to want to go onto statins. 'They're the safest drugs on the planet.' It didn't change my mind.However, they're now saying dietary cholesterol has very little impact on your blood cholesterol (which I remain unconvinced of after reading the science) and now there are millions and millions more people with cholesterol levels over 5 mmol/l prescribed statins, surely it's doubt enough to review their recommendations.</blockquote>
