What are statins? Sometimes I feel very young here

They supposedly lower cholesterol and are loved by cardiologists.
According to them everybody would benefit from taking them, damn the side
effects.

I just had my yearly exam. My LDL was toward the lower end of the normal
range while the HDL (good cholesterol) was a little above the high end.

The punch line:  my breakfast for years consists of garlic, half an onion,
two eggs, and a slice of cheese. Supper alternates between chunks of pig
or cow with a rare chicken. My veggies are mostly the garlic and onion,
with baked yams or squash in the winter. Fruit is blueberries or
strawberries that I like to mix in with cottage cheese. A cardiologist
would weep.

'The science' has been changing over the years. A friend who was a bit of
a hypochondriac closely followed the New England Journal of Medicine.

It isn't some quack alternative medicine publication but he loved to point
out how 'the science' could change on a weekly basis.
