Agreed that you raise a fair point, but in my case (as an example) my weight gain was over 3 months with no change in diet or routine...it was finally my wife who said that I had to get off the stuff as she was the one that made the connection.
My irritation is not that there is concern about cholesterol on the part of the medical profession and neither the fact that their cures have side effects, it is much more that between the docs, the insurance companies and the drug companies they have made the case that "you are going to die immediately if you don't take our drug" and then ignore that it just does not work for some people.
