As far as I'm concerned--
--anyone who is worried about cholesterol levels--and remember, there's a lot of controversy about just how high/low the different types need to be to be worried, and whether, compared to measures such as C-reactive protein and triglyceride levels, they are good correlates of heart problems in the first place--should take a shot with oatmeal and other fibers and niacin first, in my opinion. Much less of a side effect profile than statins, though the niacin flush can be annoying.
