[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 2005243, member: 245335"] My total cholesterol dropped when I cut the carbs. Is there a suggestion that yours will drop if you go back on the carbs? Today, I've had an appointment with the diabetes specialist at my local hospital and I'm totally confused at how the NHS, albeit England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland can have different attitudes in different parts of the country (UK). Not only have I been recommended to read about low carb diets (I'm ahead of the game there) but when I grinned at the lovely poster showing the Eatwell guide, I was very quickly assured that the guide was changing to have a much lower portion of carbs, and that was before I said anything, just a knowing grin. How about asking him to explain the different between relative risk and absolute risk, he seems to be confused. Hardly surprising, I don't think medics spend much time studying statistics. Perhaps you can ask him why so many people seem to have problems with statins, enough to report them to the Yellow Card Scheme.
