Cholesterol problems - high protein, good fat diet recommendations
Hi there, long-term lurker here. I am based in Switzerland although British by birth. I've recently been following a high protein diet plan which recommends lots of cheeses (hard and soft) and dairy products. The breakfasts consist of various combinations of high fat yoghurts, magerquark, Philadelphia

Statins oh Statins again
If Statins are meant to do virtually the same thing as a deterrent then why do people have to keep switching over because of intolerance to one and not another. Surely the aim of the drug is to lower cholesterol etc. So why the diversity ? I mean what are the manufacturers adding/taking away in one

Papers questioning TSH as a diagnostic keep coming
A new Australian paper which examines the value of TSH testing and its relationship to best hypothyroidism detection. Don't agree with all of it, but the concept that FT4/3 measurements are better than TSH is well covered.
