The entire cholesterol issue is junk science, motivated by greedy pharmaceuticals.

No offense but that sounds exactly like moonbat reasoning. Many if not most heart surgeons consider bad cholesterol to be enemy numero uno. Now a moonbat will say the doctors are part of the conspiracy but personally I suspect that besides water everything we consume has benefits and costs and we'll never reach the end of these studies.

I agree with you whole heartedly. My husbands doctor kept trying to get his LDL down as low as he possible could by upping his dosage, changing the cholesterol medication etc. My husband got to where he could hardly function. Finally I said enough is enough.

I’m a fitness trainer. It is not junk science.

Read up on the side effects of statins including memory loss. IMO, the medical establishment is clueless about prescription drugs. Doctors have become nothing more than pill pushers. The side effects of these drugs are worse than the ailment.

I've been telling my husband that for years, but he insists he needs the Lipitor and the Zetia and Cartia XT and coumadin because his doctor prescribed the whole mess.
