I wish the word would get out to all the middle-aged and older people taking these nasty drugs, which endanger their livers and don’t do much for their hearts.
I chime in on every thread I see that concerns Cholestorol. The issue I have is that I can’t point to studies that show how a statin wrecks the liver.
I’m not saying that Statins are all bad. They might only be somewhat bad. heh.
I do know for a fact that people who have “good number” cholesterol can die just as people who have a “bad number”. Granted, bad number folks have more heart events, but again, it goes back to being an indicator, not a cause. Something in our system makes more Cholesterol and something else makes it more sticky. When the two combine in our hearts, we either get it scraped out or we die. Trashing our livers to lower the level of output and make us feel like crap seems to be a very bad idea.
