The goal-post-moving is what drives me batshit crazy. Cholesterol "goal posts" were somewhat higher numbers several decades ago...and Big Pharma has been insisting that they be adjusted downward to push those statins on the populace. My internist bugs me EVERY year to go on statins for my cholesterol, which is just over 200. No EFFING way. Ever.
