Given that the heart is a muscle, and statins have been shown to activate the genes that destroy muscle, why would you ever start taking them?

Statins, according to many studies, also damage the kidneys, and the brain, why are they still in use?

Educate yourself, cause your doctor isn't going to.

I haven't started taking them so far. I am a licenced physician. Links would be appreciated. My impression is that adverse reactons are caused by genetics. Some people shouldn't take statins, but so far, it looks like a small subset.
