Testimony:

One of the most surprising findings of this study is that the association between LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and heart disease is “weak or inconsistent.”

My brother was at his doctor's office & the doc recommended a statin. My bro asked if his cholesterol was high. Doctor's answer: no, statins are a preventative. My brother's next question: "are you taking a statin?" Doc's answer: "NO." Response from my brother, "then why should I?"

End of discussion. My brother has been a medical malpractice attorney for over 40 yrs with a degree in biology from Harvard & a law degree from UTexas. - [fren on another forum]

Statins interfere with the body's production of Coenzyme Q10 -- something needed by every cell in the body. If I were taking a statin, I'd take CoQ10 (200mg at least) as well. People who get prescribed a statin are often at risk for cardiovascular events (or have already had one), and QoQ10 is an actual, prescribed medication in Japan for some cardiac issues. The heart uses more CoQ10 than most other body tissues.
