I got a haircut from a new barber yesterday. She talked and talked about how
her doctor wanted to put her on Lipitor because of high cholesterol. She
told him she could bring it down with diet. So she is having almost no fat.
She has gained two pounds and I suspect her cholesterol will be higher at
her next visit.
My wife's sister is being put on a statin because of her cholesterol
levels despite being thin, active, and no history of CVD. I think some
doctors are just overly aggressive with the statin drugs.
