“Clearly there is a problem for many of us, a blanket statement that anyone over 40 should be on statins certainly isn’t science.”
Well, the article does not say that. It says statin therapy should be considered, based on a multi-factoral approach.
Of course it doesn’t, but look where we’re at years later. Doctors have been “considering” this on us for decades despite known severe and debilitating side effects. I had a VA cardio doctor all but wipe his behind with my CT heartsaver scan (calcification test) and need I even have to say what I think of his superior critical thinking skills.
