Recently found out my ldl level was so high. hdl was 110. I was shocked. I don't eat junk food, I'm not overweight, I do however smoke and have my fair share of alcohol. (Quit date 6/26.) Now they want me to take Lipitor and I've been reading the stories on here telling of the side effects. I'm not a huge fan of taking anything that isn't natural. Heard about glucomannan and red yeast. Any suggestions out there appreciated. New to all of this and it's pretty scary. ThanksView Thread
