[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1906610, member: 94045"] Yes, the HDL cholesterol of 0.92 is what I meant. That is low. Statins will not help this at all. They don't alter HDL. Mine is 2.67. Personally, I would not take statins under any circumstances. Your numbers were very good BEFORE you started statins. The only thing you need to concentrate on is raising your HDL (good cholesterol) and statins [B]will not[/B] help with this. Try eating a lot of oily fish - especially salmon, flaxseed and chia seed, (can be ground and added to food), olive oil, avocado, and a glass of red wine. Avoid at all cost most processed vegetable oils as they contain omega 6 rather than omega 3. Cook with olive oil or animal fats such as butter, lard etc. If you have sunflower oil or similar in your cupboard, throw it away :) [/QUOTE]
