JSB,

I hope you are not dying or something. Correlation of mortality and cholesterol have the lowest mortality at total cholesterol of about 220, IIRC, and then going up in either direction. You farther from 220 than person with cholesterol of 300.

Correlation is not causation, and people who are dying cancer may have an extremely low cholesterol because they are dying of cancer, not dying of cancer because they have low cholesterol. Still, taking Lipitor to lower cholesterol that is already that low seems extremely weird to me. Makes me wonder about the doctor who is prescribing the Lipitor to you.

Joe
