Over the last decade, high blood pressure and high blood sugar definitions changed to put more people on medications. I guess this is the same song, different verse.

How can you do that? I already use Stevia. I like to grab a sammich for lunch. Nobody I know has been able to stay on a low carb diet.

Ask your doctor for a study that shows using statins make you live longer. There is no such study.

People with high cholesterol have higher rates of heart disease. Statins lower cholersterol. But there is no study that shows statins make you live longer.

The damage to your body from using statins are real. With no benefit.

Cut out sugar. reduce carbs.

If you do start a statin, do a search on CoQ10 and statins.

Statins reduce CoQ10 and the heart muscle needs it.

Ask your doctor about it.

Is anyone familiar with this new formula?

It’s about as useless as that STUPID 0-10 pain scale.

FWIW, I have. The wife and I found low carb bread, hamburger buns, and occasionally hot dog buns at COSTCO. Called Natural Ovens Keto-Friendly Bread. Game changer.

You’re about the same size Marshall Faulk was during his NFL days.
