I’m afraid to take one. I’ve read that cholesterol is being wrongly vilified. I’ve also read that statins are a big pharma scam. Please share your knowledge. Would you take them?
Don't take it. Work on your diet, go vegan for a while, and step up your exercise. Start with the diet and then add on to the exercise week by week.
