I told the doc I would never take a statin, started having oatmeal for b’fast and milk instead of half and half in my coffee, and my cholesterol dropped into normal.
No half and half is hard for a Norwegian, but sacrifice is part of life, I suppose.
Maybe you could come up with a great ‘heart healthy’ lutefisk diet, and become rich!
I told my doctor the same, but after a year of oatmeal and soluble fiber additives to everything I drank and exercising every day, my cholesterol had not budged. A month on 40mg simvastatin daily and it dropped by 100 points. Diet changes don’t work for everyone.
I drink H&H almost every day. My only complaint is that it costs twice as much as milk..... but still worth every penny.
