I’ll never take a statin again. There’s a reason for that. 893 ratings from patients. Could drinking poison Hemlock be any worse. I have zero inflammation in my body now in my 70s and that’s from no longer allowing myself to be a guinea pig.

Can’t blame you, the research on statins just keeps getting worse. They do lower LDL, but that is not necessarily a good thing. What counts is HDL and especially Triglycerides...get those numbers good and you’re all set.
