There were studies announced a year of so ago the results of which were that 
Statins, and perhaps general lowering of Cholesterol did not contribute to 
longevity. I decided then and there, if prescribed, I would pass.

My doctor and I have had numerous discussions about statins because I have 
Type II diabetes, and some medical authorities recommend we Type Twoers take 
statins as a matter of course. So far I have refused and he has bucked his 
own superiors' recommendations because my overall cholesterol hovers in the 
155 range, and my good and bad are well below those lines which must not be 
crossed. Something's going to get me eventually, but it won't be 
cholesterol. (My father expired of a massive heart attack at age 67 while 
carrying in his pocket a set of lab results similar to mine.)
