Yup, that was a quack. To the best of my knowledge, statins will lower your cholesterol but don't do anything about triglycerides.

As you learned, the way to lower triglycerides is to cut out sweets of all sorts. I'll have a hard time with that. I don't care about sugar, per se, but I do love fruit.

Like you, I need to lose thirty pounds. Forty would be better. Fifty... well, fifty is what the AMA says I should lose. I'll keep a log of my weight when I'm up north. I think I can do it.

Hey De,
A few years back a quack tried to prescribe a statin
for me . . .

Seems my triglycerides were way high, but the
cholesterols were not that bad.

I never filled the prescription, severely cut back on
the sugary sodas and the triglycerides dropped like
a rock. I managed to lose thirty pounds and I feel a
LOT better for it.

A better diet and good exercise can work wonders.

Zim.
