Stop drinking coffee, tea, beer (alcohol for that matter) and soda pop and energy drinks. No cholesterol drugs!!!!! Damages the liver. I have a friend who took cholesterol lowering drugs for 20 years. He is now 57 years old. He did not drink water, but instead added water to his gatorade. He had to have back surgery twice and now he can barely walk. Stay the hell away from pharma drugs if you can.
