Default Statins (OT)

There was a lot of interest last time this was aired but I was left with a
few unanswered questions...

How significant is the fat in processed Pork slices as I find it a very
convenient source of sandwich filling?

How linear is the response to dose levels? A recent test found 4.2 total
(2.4 LDL) for a dose of 20mg. Pre-statins, I had levels of 6.8 and 7.2
total. I would like to drop the dose to 10mg.

I asked how long it takes for the body to return to normal after stopping
medication and was told 2 weeks. I was also told to resume treatment to
double check any noted changes.

I understand that you need less of a dose if you use Rosuvastatin (which I
use) as opposed to Simvastatin for example.
