What about side effects? I know people who had muscle soreness that preceeds muscle destruction and had to stop taking statins. I understand there are some digestive side effects, as well.

This is reminding me of the old aggressive guidelines for HRT.
With this large a sample, what will the downside be in 5 years or so?

My total cholesterol was over 400 in June.
I've been using Zocor 10 mg. for about a month.

New drugs, huh?

Pharmaceutical comapnies and their investors wouldn't have anything to do with this, would they? Nah, didn't think so. </sarcasm
