Cholesterol

So, my doctor says my cholesterol is high and that I should start taking Lipitor. I say WAIT. I'll try to loose the fat first. I don't eat any red meat at all, very little goat cheese, even less cow cheese, very little butter, virtually no processed foods. My HDL is good as are my triglycerides. And, when I punched in my numbers on the American Heart Association's collesteral page, my risk factor was 1%; the average for a woman my age is 3%. Get a grip doctor.

I know this is somewhat irrational, but I really think this whole cholesterol thing is a scam, a reason to give out drugs. I know, I know. better safe than sorry. But first, I'm gonna try getting my fat ass out of bed early enough to go to the gym every day. Plus what bad things will the drugs do? Yikes. I'd rather die of a heart attack than liver disease or something.
