Cheesy
Posted , 2 users are following.
My new GP has carried out a risk assessment and decided that at aged 78 I should take statins as I have a 36% risk factor.
For my breakfast I have one slice of wholemeal toasted bread with Bertolli, home made blackcurrent jelly and 20 grams of Lancashire Goats Cheese from Sandhams.
Is there a noticeable difference in the fat content level between Lancashire cheese made from cows milk or goats milk, as this seemed to concern him?

May I also take the opportunity to point out that regarding taking statins... it is well documented that these can have very nasty side effects to some people causing a lot of severe aching in the joints and if you are already having problems in that area it can get very bad!
Having reached the good age of 78 do you really need to take them especially as it is being prescribed as a "precaution"?

Actually, I like the sound of your breakfast and will try it. But I will have a sliced tomato too.

I have deleted all of the comments re statins as the original question was simply about fat content in cheese and this had turned into an off topic argument about benefits or otherwise of statins.
If a user wants to specifically ask opinions on taking statins then this is a separate discussion. If anyone wants to have a discussion on the pros or cons of statins please start a new discussion.
