[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2168906, member: 219467"] Proof of what? [USER=47983]@therower[/USER] claimed "proof of the drugs benefits"(sic) Statins lower cholesterol .. that seems to be fairly well agreed.. whether that is beneficial or not will depend entirely on whether you believe elevated cholesterol "causes" heart disease or doesn't. I'm firmly in the latter camp and have posted a thread with all the evidence for my thoughts as post 2 on the thread. If you have time to trawl through it then you may find some things that are new. That many seem happy to think that LDL and HDL are "cholesterol" shows a lack of basic understanding of the mechanics. But hey what does 3 years of reading lead to? [/QUOTE]
