Important information about statins that I’m going to ask my doc about
Just a bit of information I discovered last week. One of the side effects of taking "simvistatin" is temporary memory loss. It is the only statin that has this effect. I am going to talk to my .doctor about stopping it, with his guidance of course. I have had some short lapses in memory .... forgetting part of my phone number, etc.

Not just white bread but white pasta and white potatoes! Also cut down on all sugar.. white carbs convert to sugar easily.
Thanks, @lioness. I had not heard about the bagel mix before. It sounds great. I'll look for that next time I'm in the store.
Very True… I experienced it.
Omg I have to take the Darn statin cause I had a stroke in my eye!!!! Hate them. Which one is better?
Will I get notified about answers?
@rjwintl Also you can buy bagel mix in spice section and sprinkle it on sourdough toast butter first if you want that's good too
U Betcha !!! ... so far , the advice of the Mayo Clinic to consume Sourdough Bread is like a God-send , especially when my PCP has told me NOT to do any white bread !!! ... I've even found a new favorite bagel , sourdough bagels ... with a little cream cheese , it's far better than white bread toast with butter !!!
@rjwintl Glad to hear I love sourdough
I make my own sourdough bread. Happy to know it’s recommended!!
Sourdough Bread is the answer
my PCP said to additionally cut-out white bread , but just read a Mayo Clinic report that says Sourdough Bread is the answer !!!
