[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2331031, member: 525839"] I still don't get the logic behind using statins. The liver makes cholesterol because the body needs it. It is not surprising that people who have heart attacks have high cholesterol. Something has to be done about the underlying inflammation. It looks like the anti inflammatory effect of stains helps somewhat. But reducing cholesterol causes various problems. My cholesterol is higher than doctors like to see it. But I am not going to second-guess my liver and reduce cholesterol. Most people with high cholesterol don't have heart attacks. Just like most people who are overweight don't become T2 diabetics.
