This may sound silly but statins and red yeast affect liver numbers. I switched my week day breakfast to oatmeal with blueberries, strawberries, black berries and bananas topped with cinnamon. My cholesterol has stayed steady for years. I started in the high 260+ and now the numbers are around 169 . Needless to say I lost a bit of weight along the way too. I do like to walk so I try to make it a habit and try to eat well, but like everyone I have a few foods and snacks I can say no to.

They can affect the liver, but it's not guaranteed. I've been on statins for five months, and my bloodwork last month was normal for liver enzymes. It is certainly something to keep an eye on, though.
