Statins have been around for 20 years and are increadibly well studied. Liver problems happen in about 1/2 of 1%—a number that is matched by the placebo control group.
Flaxseed oil is as much of a drug as simvistatin—it just hasn’t been studied for safety and effect. I’m always amused by folks that will pop an untested herb or vitamin supplement, but reject a drug that has been scientifically demonstrated to be beneficial.
There are pleanyt of natural statins, I never said it wasn’t... you seemed to miss a key point. Artificial Statins vs Natural Statins. Artificial Statins have been around for about 20 years, and no they aren’t well studied long term. Natural Statins have been around for well... a hell of a lot longer.
There has only been 1 long term study that I know of on Statins, and it is a 15 year study that just got published this month. So, your claims to knowledge of long term effects is misinformed, and it did not remotely focus on liver or other health problems, just on Cholestorol levels and death.
So, you might want to do a bit more research before you start regurgitating the marketing lines of drug companies.
