I was just reading the latest research into taking Statins and it suggests everyone over 50 should be on them!
I have read lots of other research and discovered that the side effects are worse than the cholesterol.
It is a confusing question without a real answer
Recent big discussion in our house,my dad has been on them from a mild heart attack 2 years ago,and has been very tired and grumpy while on them,he recently stopped them and with a bit of mild exercise and a half tea spoon full of extra virgin olive oil twice a day he feels much better,much more energy and brighter,also his cholestrol hasnt went up!!
