[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1389724, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, statins come up regularly on these forums. It's a subject with so many experts out there and mostly they disagree with each other. I wouldn't take much notice of the BHF as they recommend the Eatwell Guide for our diet so obviously haven't a clue! You need cholesterol for body repair so it must not go too low. Yes, it appears the LDL/HDL ratio is important and yours could be better. Much depends on your genes etc rather than what you eat. Some say eating saturated fat is no more important than your liver in dumping bad cholesterol around your body. I have a tub of Proactiv each day (the lower sugar version!) as well as some statins. I'm lucky as statins don't give me any problems. I've no idea if the Proactiv really works. If you want to be amused or depressed have a read of Malcom Kendrick's two books 'The great cholesterol con' and 'Doctoring Data'. He's a UK GP. [/QUOTE]
