[QUOTE="ally5555, post: 11789, member: 7357"] Hi Ian Statins are a difficult one alot do not get on with them but I have seen loads who do. Problem is you only ever hear about those who have problems! I am not sure where that staement came from but alot of dietitians are using a sort of porfolio approach and overall you can achieve a 30% reduction in cholesterol. What you need is inc fibre exercise 30g almonds ditch the junk ! and have 2.5g plant sterol per day. You can take this in any food - yogurt , milk , spread etc. From the evidence taking more does not have any extra benefit It does work altho the spreads etc can be expensive. I think it is worth a try for 3-6 months rather than going down the statin route and there arent any side effects. [/QUOTE]
