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.

This is very true but more importantly SIGHTSEEK why didn't your doctor tell you about the contraindications or give you a list of what to ingest or not? That is something you should call the hospital's patient advocate about
