[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1585003, member: 219467"] Even from the first two answers you can see there is much debate here about cholesterol and statins. This is not confined to this forum but generally out in the medical world as well. There is no easy answer to this question so you should really do some research and see which side of the fence you wish to land on. For myself I woudn't touch them with a bargepole.. 5.2 is a long way from "high" and for older women higher cholesterol is beneficial (at least that's what the science shows us). Doctors have a bee in their bonnet because NICE says Type 2's should be 4 or lower (with very little science to back this up) or at least they used to. They may have changed this recently. Cholesterol is essential for life without it we die.. does it sound like a good idea to mess around with it using pharmaceuticals? [/QUOTE]
