Levels of cholesterol and other fatty molecules in the blood may have an impact on mood and aggression, according to a new study. Studies have shown that male psychiatric patients with low cholesterol (below160 mg/dl) are twice as likely to attempt suicide, and elderly men with low cholesterol are three times as likely to be depressed. And studies in animals have found that monkeys fed a diet low in fat and cholesterol are more aggressive than those fed a normal diet.

Aching muscles are especially common among statin drug users(that's an anti cholesterol drug), and according to Bottom Line Yearbook 2002, muscle ache can actually be a sign that body tissues are breaking down, which can lead to serious kidney damage. Other, less common -- but no less disturbing -- side effects can also occur as a result of taking statin drugs, as is illustrated by the following patient account in "Overdose" by Jay S. Cohen: "Last of all my doctor prescribed Lipitor, and after several months I found I was having trouble remembering names and coming up with the right word. At dinner once, I said, 'Please pass the elephant,' though I wanted the bread. I told my husband that I thought I'd had a stroke. In January, a friend came to visit. She was worried about her memory and couldn't think of her daughter's name on the telephone. She too was on Lipitor. I asked my doctor to prescribe a different cholesterol medicine. Within a couple of weeks I was more mentally alert. But my friend (still on Lipitor) was in worse shape and afraid she would lose her job. Her doctor said forgetfulness could not be due to the drug. She finally stopped taking Lipitor and now is much sharper."

It is advised to lower your cholesterol by diet. And that is the best way.
