The Governor said:My cholesterol was 4,7 but my GP is of the opinion that everyone should be on a statin due to her view of the long term benefits even for thsoe without a high cholesterol rating.
There's some evidence that the actual benefits of statins come not from the LDL reduction but another effect, possibly reduction in inflammation.
I'm still happily taking my simvastatin but I'm going to drop it for a month prior to my next MOT, see what my unmedicated lipids look like now I've fined down my diet
