Agree my Cholesterol level hovers around 5 ( old money until the goalposts were moved) Have two brothers 3 and 6 years my junior and both have had Heart Attacks Whilst on Statins! one of them with a consistent Level of below 4.5 !!!
Beware not all Lard is equal. Much of it is bleached and has added stabilisers! Just make your own from rendering Pork or Beef products as you cook Will keep up to a week or more in the fridge.
Thanks both doing OK. But That's what their Doctors say! I'm not convinced Personally I think there is a very strong Heredity link which is more important than the effects of Statins or Cholesterol, That's how all of the Males on my Fathers side have died including him. and he went through the War on rations and was as thin as a latte.
They seem to be fairly random regarding side effects! My brother has been put back on Statins following a recent Heart attack, he did his own experiment after weeks of shoulder and central chest pains he stopped the Statins and the symptoms disappeared the next Day. He repeated the on/off several times and same effect each time! With the symptoms he has restricted Arm movements and feels lethargic.
Or Goods Yards?
