Use Google to do a little research.

By the way, the reason most people have high cholesterol is because your body uses it to make hormones, repair certain types of tissue, etc. It's a very useful building block that has become demonized as a culprit in heart disease. In actuality, the repercussions from not having elevated cholesterol as a response to a serious condition is much worse than having it elevated.

Within twenty years this whole statin thing to lower cholesterol practice will be looked back at like "what was everyone thinking back then?"

Here come the flames.

So... You realize of course that the effective ingredient in RYR is a statin, right? Lovastatin actually. It's effective, but I'd rather have mine actually regulated thank you.

You should really work on your reading comprehension.

Even if you were correct, feel free to have your regulated side effects instead of no side effects.

And yeah, the FDA has done such a bang up job regulating drugs. Without them, the death rate from prescription drugs would be considerably lower.

As it is, the leading cause of death in this country is from legally prescribed drugs, which comes in at over a whopping 3% of all deaths in the USA.

Go for it.

My reading comprehension is fine, thank you.
>>>In the 2009 study, the investigators performed a formal chemical analysis on the RYR product they used in their study (from Sylvan Bioproducts in Kittanning, Pennsylvania). They found that the RYR contained monacolin K (the naturally-occurring form of lovastatin), as well as eight other monacolins (statins or statin-like substances).

The result of this chemical analysis suggests two things. First, that RYR available in the U.S. apparently still contains at least some lovastatin, <<<

You're point was that statins kill. That is ridiculous, and highly hypocritical if you think this crap is a "holistic" alternative.

Personally, I think it it is all bunk. There are plenty of skinny, active, and healthy adults that have what the pharmaceutical industry deems as "high cholesterol". It is just very convenient, and brilliant by the way, marketing campaign by the drug companies to make the majority of the population believe that they can still be fat, not exercise, and take a pill to save themselves. The two are mutually exclusive and have nothing to heart disease.
Fat + lazy = heart disease...and they probably have high cholesterol.
Active, healthy + High cholesterol = a long healthy life.

You can not draw a direct correlation, as much as the drug pushers want you to believe there is one.

Keep eating Chinese mold - if you think it is helping you, that's half the battle.

I'd say it's more than half.

Sure will.
