[QUOTE="Jinzang, post: 68791, member: 12925"] There are two separate questions here. The first is whether a diet high in cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans fats raises your risk of heart disease. The second is whether statins lower your risk of heart disease. I'd say that the answer to both questions is yes, but they are two separate and distinct questions. Disproving one would not disprove the other. Since I argued for the first, showing evidence that the second is untrue does not contradict me. As I said, people differ in how much dietary cholesterol affects their blood cholesterol for genetic reasons. If you can tolerate a diet high in cholesterol and saturated fat, as shown by your blood levels, then continue eating as you have. If not, please modify your diet and continue monitoring your blood cholesterol levels. I'm aware that some studies have failed to find that statins reduce the risk of heart disease. However, I believe that if you look at the totality of the evidence, there is a risk reduction, especially among those at high risk for heart disease. I would discourage people from using statins unless they are at high risk. I believe that for the general population the risks outweigh the benefits and it is preferable to lower cholesterol through diet and exercise. [/QUOTE]
