Because the drug reps slant their pitches to debunk Zetia. But I know a guy
who lowered his LDLs 50% on Zetia.
It doesn't have the nasty side effect profile that the statins do.

As one ages, statistics show that older folks live longer with higher
cholesterol levels. But this data is also hidden, squelched.

This is a controversial subject...don't be afraid to discuss this with your doctor. As the patents expire on the popular statins, this data becomes more prominent (Zocor and Pravachol are now generic).
