Thanks. I gather there's no evidence that women benefit at all from taking statins. And neither do older men unless they have a pre-existing condition. I've just read "The Great Cholesterol Con" by Malcolm Kendrick- amusing a bit over the top and with a fair few errors.
What I said before wasn't quite right. 25% of the body's cholesterol occurs in the brain and 2% of the brain's weight is cholesterol.
