After being a statistician in testing for the last job of my career, I now look at studies in a whole different way. I now wonder about blood type chemistry as related to side effects regarding statins. Some people I’ve personally known take enormous doses of statins with no problems or side effects and others like myself have problems with a very small dosage. Clearly there is a problem for many of us, a blanket statement that anyone over 40 should be on statins certainly isn’t science.

Little to nothing about prescription drugs is related to “science.”
Its all about money.
We have natural substances that work better than any drug, and totally without undesirable side effects.
Natural substances don’t enrich Ducturs.

Well, the article does not say that. It says statin therapy should be considered, based on a multi-factoral approach.
