[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statins are terrible for the body. Stop worrying about cholesterol. Half of the heart attacks in this country every year are by people with normal or low cholesterol. Cholesterol is not the problem, inflammation is. Low cholesterol is being shown to cause depression, and anxiety[/quote] Just about everything in this post is incorrect. Long-term high cholesterol -- or more precisely, long-term ApoB -- will lay down plaque in your arteries that will narrow and eventually block them given enough time. If you want to know how far down that road you are, a calcium scan can answer the question. Some people can lower ApoB without medication but if you have persistent high cholesterol despite a relatively healthy lifestyle, you're probably not one of those people. For sure, there are some side effects and costs to taking a statin but for many people that cost is far outweighed by the reduction in risk of ischemic heart disease.[/quote]
