[QUOTE="hotdog, post: 123848, member: 12652"] I think the headline holds a lot of truth. If you don't have existing heart disease the benefit of statins is miniscule. The trial outcomes on average show about a hundred healthy people need to take statins for years to prevent one heart attack. Coupled with that is the risk of the statins giving you diabetes. For every 3 heart attacks prevented a new case of diabetes is created. I wonder what they do to your liver. I also think that it is very likely that cholesterol is not the issue here as the people who have heart attacks show an equal spread of high and low cholesterol. Researchers are suggesting statins may have an anti-inflammatory effect which to me seems the most likely reason they show a small benefit in existing heart disease patients. If you want a way more significant drop in CVD risk look to the japanese diet (fish oil) which is a way better anti-inflammatory. I am pretty sure anyone reading this already eats fruit&veg, exercises and supplements with fish oil. You have likely already reduced your CVD risk way more than statins ever could. [/QUOTE]
