When I first started atkins 13 years ago, I actually had my cholesterol tested because my GP thought this "silly" diet meant it would rise and I didnt know any better - well it didnt. A couple of days after having the blood test my doctor phoned me and was very concerned. My cholesterol was low - in fact he had never seen such low triglycerides. He said that low cholesterol was a marker for cancer! So does taking statins mean you'll get cancer??
At that point, I asked around at work (I work with cardiologists), I studied, searched and researched and so far, I've found nothing to prove that high cholesterol causes anything at all!
