Hi guys... sorry I'm not around much lately. My new job is very busy and not much chance to get here during the day... then evening is always busy at home.

Just read this article and thought I would share.

    Interesting article. It talks about a new analysis of the WHI study, demonstrating that statin use in women is associated with greater incidence of obesity. But the article is also a good review of all the research to date (both observational and randomized, controlled trials), on statins. So, its worth at least a skim!

    Thanks for sharing.
