There have been a number of studies which highlight severe side effects to the drug and I don't think the benefit is worth the potential health risks. Especially when you consider the natural alternatives you mentioned, like avoiding fructose (found in many fruits), consuming more fish oils (possibly in the form of a supplement) and by taking vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts that reduce LDL and increase HDL naturally.

I am very frightened at this prospect but am aware that my doctor is trying to help me. I'm 63 yrs. old and have never taken statins before. I am at risk because of family history, lifestyle and tobacco use. My cholesteral was at 275 one week ago. I am to talk with my doctor tomorrow mornng about taking statins.
