[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2336064, member: 517579"] My cholesterol is higher than yours and I am not taking statins now or ever. The evidence base for a health improvement is very poor, and if I recall correctly research after 2005 has been unable to demonstrate any statin benefit whatsoever (research protocols were tightened around then). I don't want to risk side effects and don't see why I should. Dr Verner Wheelock's book "Healthy Eating - The Big Mistake" is a good introduction to a number of areas including diabetes and statins.
