[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2017568, member: 468714"] If you subscribe to zoe harcombe's blog and related literature you will find a rebuttal of the supposed association between cholesterol and heart disease/cardio-vascular disease. She calls this good and bad cholesterol palaver, drug company propaganda of sorts. The actual cholesterol carried about in the centre of these things called HDL and HDL is exactly the same, and the same as the cholesterol with makes up part of the wall around every cell in the body. She says it is so important that our livers make it to ensure we have sufficient. It is worth reading what she says to get an unbiased view as Big Pharma has lots of biased reports and promotion in place which many health professions apparently do not have the statistical nous to actually understand. The cardiologist says prescribe statins and the GPs follow suit. I hope your GP advised you about ALL the side-effects before prescribing them ?? The choice is yours of course but according to her and the studies she quotes the side effects of statins are reported to include worsening of diabetic control, there is a law suit in progress about statins causing onset of diabetes, muscle aches and pains, dementia, behavioural issues, a small % of people die from statins and so on. Good luck :):):) [/QUOTE]
