How dangerous is high cholesterol?
The drug companies make you think everyone does. I am not convinced that statin drugs are safe and want to know what my odds are. My mother is 88 with cholesterol readings over 400. Mine are over 300. So??? We do not have a history of heart attacks. My dad lived to be 98 yrs. old with no statin drugs.
Well, this is the thing and I’ve made a right point. Per my knowledge there is no comprehensive study, which proved correlation between high cholesterol and accumulation of it on the walls of one’s arteries. Pharmaceutical companies want to make you to believe that there is strong correlation. In reality nobody knows. And your family history is just one more prove that one can have high cholesterol and clear arteries. But that thesis doesn’t suet well pharmaceuticals. Their ultimate goal – everyone should take statins.
