[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1412381, member: 219467"] It seems generally accepted (well most of us here) that the overall cholesterol number is meaningless. Do you have the full lipid breakdown? As you are presumably female it would also appear from various recent studies that a higher cholesterol number leads to longer life unless you have had a cardiac event. You could do a lot worse than spend 30 minutes watching this [MEDIA=youtube]SqkAJmXt9RE[/MEDIA] After that then maybe think what is best for you. A lot of us have found that many GP's are way behind current thinking on these things and simply prescribe because NICE has told them too or they don't have all the info.. (I'm being kind to them there..). Personally there is no way I'd take them but as with all meds it is up to you. [/QUOTE]
