Statin drugs lower cholesterol to prevent heart attacks.

Statin drugs also reduce muscle mass.

Isn't the heart a muscle?

Any other drug would be contra-indicated in this situation.

The link between heart attack and cholesterol is thin at best, some say non-existant.

Modern medicine=Insanity.

Do you have any links on that? Last I heard or read, they cause myopathy, myalgia and rhabdomyolysis, the latter about 1% of the time.
