Question 1

Accepted Answer

Not weird at all: Nothing wrong with that. It improves the taste for some people.

Question 3

are sesame seeds good or bad?  if yes what is it's benefit?

Accepted Answer

Neither.: They are both good and bad and part of a healthy diet.  Don't eat too much or too little of anything.  By the way, if you have no heart disease, don't smoke and do not have diabetes, the absolute benefit of taking crestor (rosuvastatin) is probably pretty small no matter how high your CHOL.  Might want to look at the framingham risk calculator and discuss with your doc.
