Gordon Field - I think it's perhaps more common than the medics try to make out. My GP was quite philosophical about it - they'll do you good, but not at the price of your existing quality of life. It seems there isn't too much choice of a prescribed alternative - which begs the question of what is in those plant steroids and the like that Benecol advertises does you good when you pile 1/2" of butter on your toast (and reports that I have heard tends to suggest that the stuff does actually have a beneficial effect).
