I agree, I have always done everything in moderation. I had a smart doc tell me when I was young: "you can push the body, but you cannot break the body". There is the secret. Re statins: 36% of all deaths are by sudden heart attacks. Statins pretty much prevent that. I made them put m on them almost 20 years ago. I had some heart irregularities (when I stressed the heart during exercise and never thought I would live this long. My younger brother and both of his kids have had heart by pass surgery. I had a doc business partner who told me all the cardiologists in the state, even the young ones, take statins. Who am I to argue with guys who do nothing but address cardiovascular problems? They say within 6 months statins clear the cardio vascular system. Probably better than Ornstein's diet. All I know is that shortly after starting the statins my heart irregularities disappeared to the point where I could ride balls to the wall and not even have to breath through my mouth and can still do that today at 72. I don't even worry about my heart anymore. In fact docs always tell me how great my heart sounds. As well, they are finding out statins also prevent type 2 diabetes, dementia and a whole host of other diseases and they do not even know why. They just have the stats. Probably why it made #2. The discovery of inflammation as #3 is a new info, but really makes a lot of sense if one thinks about it. it is easy to keep inflammation low. Green tea, fish oil and avocado and olive oil and not to hard to take :>).
