Zocor has my bad cholesterol down from 187 to 95. I’ll stick with it, thanks.

And if you get it down to zero, you'll die. Think about it. I take the stuff too, but I'm not at all convinced that there is any correlation between cholesterol levels and incidence of heart attack. Google cholesterol+heart+attack+correlation and you will see that there is considerable debate about this, and remember that only one side of the debate has a financial interest. This doesn't make them wrong. I'm just observing.

Yeah, but I recently read a study that said cholesterol doesn’t cause heart disease after all.

Oooops.

Yes... I can see where a healthy diet and exorcise can be a pain in the a**.

Thank Asclepios for those cool little pills eh? Don't they make life so much easier?

You may want to be careful with this one. Studies are out now that say your cholesterol should be about 130 to remain healthy. Taking it that low is only done by medication. Your natural body could never take it to 97 on its own. Just a word of caution here.

Well, there is a scam. Since cholesterol does not cause heart attacks, you are taking liver-destroying drugs for ... what purpose ?

Your doctor and pharmaceutical company thanks you for your donations.

There are many good drugs out there, but the cholesterol-lowering ones are useless.
