Read this, it might save your life! The increasing number of prescriptions for high cholesterol medication over the last decade has been disturbing (to me anyway). I get really alarmed when all of the sudden so many people are being prescribed the same drug or knds of drugs for a problem that just seems, for lack of a better word--faddish. I have seen people with before acceptable cholesterol numbers being prescribed cholesterol medication fairly aggressively, and, I am not an MD, but it just has not seemed right. My own father died because of this kind of "preventive care".
