[QUOTE="hankjam, post: 1773168, member: 104954"] Doctors are highly trained individuals and to a degree often set in their ways. Mine were quite happy to put me on statins and three times I had to come off them as they were doing damage to my liver. I probably should have put a stop to them earlier. Even now I have a continued discussion as to trying a fourth statin, which I've stonewalled. My cholesterol is through the roof but my weight and diabetes is under control. Reading recent commentaries on statins has done nothing to change my opinion. The only thing I now restrict is the carbs I eat and everything else is fair game, except for low fat, which is an appalling conceit of the food industry. I would recommend some in depth research on your particular restrictions and understand if they are still valid. [/QUOTE]
