While Krill oil has DHA and EPA, the research on the product is very

limited and almost all funded and promoted by the Krill Oil Companies.

I don't recall ever finding any double blind studies of any size.

Fish oil on the other hand has very extensive research with a wide range

of very significant benefits. Fish oil is also cheaper. I do however

take some krill oil, 1 gram a day, but the contribution to my EPA+DHA is

very small.

Hi Gloria

Hypercholesterolmania is a madey uppy illness to make us all have

'cholesterol neurosis' - which I am sure that there will be another

'pill' available soon, to take, to alleviate our neurotic symptoms. Cholesterol

is good for you - you don't die from high

cholesterol - no matter how high. Low cholesterol on the other hand,

kills your muscles, nerves, causes chronic heart disease,

arrythmia, dementia, memory loss, kidney and liver damage, hair loss,

impotence, jaundice, loss of libido and many other serious and often

life threatening illnesses. Go to Stopped Our Statins and read some of

the articles on cholesterol and how good it is for you.Don't worry about your

cholesterol levels!Pamela.

Thanks for reply.

Re: All In Good Taste

Here is the fish oil product at lef.org (the life extension foundation)

http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item00982/Super-Omega-3-EPA-DHA-with-Ses\

ame-Lignans-Olive-Fruit-Extract.html

There recommend dose contains 1200 mg of DHA + EPA twice a day for a

total of 2.4 grams. I've also read their articles regularly and 2.4

grams was the number that they put together from " their " reading of the

medical literature. I've been trying to search PubMed but tonight all I

get is abstract titles and it won't display the abstract. Thinking it

was a quirk in my browser, that somehow I had some settings off I tried

IE and still, PubMed is failing. Perhaps tomorrow it will be back up so

I can do some searching. As I recall, a traditional Japanese diet (low

cardiovascular disease) contained about 3 grams of EPA+DHA but in

regular news stores from searching the web, I'm getting numbers from 1.3

grams on up. News stories tend to get the facts wrong or make huge

assumptive leaps, hence, my reason for looking for good references.

Seems that control of triglycerides is more a function of diet. Delete the HFCS

and sugar, processed foods and it should come

down.

[TakingLipitorAndHa teIt] All In Good Taste

Group,

Attached article great insight on effects of both statins and other

pre-/post MI drugs on our respective lifestyle. I found it difficult

to adjust my scratch cooking style to eliminate the dietary risk

factors while at the same time my sense of taste was increasingly

queered by strong inorganic-metallic taste in the pallet. Both the

Primary MD and Cardio trivalized my comments on this subject during

office visits but the effects lingered as I reverse titrated off the

beta blockers and statins. There was a short period of time while

trying to include HCTZ diuretic into the daily meds package and after

two weeks the increasing bitter taste was literally gagging and I

discontinued that drug. Once again the Primary stated "he never heard

of that symptom" but did not push me to continue.

For what it's worth this aspect, at least for me, was reversable after

now some 6 months after discontinuing the statins. Still taking Plavix

and Avapro so they at least for me are not in that taste equation.

Increasing daily intake of fish oil was just as effective in reducing

BP as that HCTZ without all of the negatives.

Hope this helps some questions and concerns out there.
