It will be another blood test, but hold him to ransom on it. Maybe all your 'bad' cholesterol is the big fluffy stuff that actually does no harm whatsoever, maybe its very high in the small dense particles that are harmful. Until you know you cannot really make an informed decision. If your doctor just says you have high cholesterol take the statins, just say, OK, you show me the complete breakdown and I will consider it, without it, you can keep your statins. The bottom line is that it must be a personal decision, but you need the full story before you can realistically make that decision.</p></blockquote><p></p>
