[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 543685, member: 44622"] I was going to put it up but I noticed a boring fact. Every time statins are criticised a learned professor comes out of the woodwork and says that they are harmless. This is not true in my case but it never stops the learned professors. He says, on this time around, that he is frightened that people will be put off taking them if they get bad publicity. Just another professor alert. I only ever remember one of them being asked if he would take them himself and he said, "Not for primary care". Here is a link [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-27420100[/url] Bit doubtful about this bit. " [I]The drugs are currently given to patients at high risk of heart disease, often after a heart attack. These patients have the most to gain by lowering their cholesterol.[/I] [I]But there are now plans to prescribe statins to low risk patients too. They would face the same side effects, but for much smaller benefits."[/I] [/QUOTE]
