In response to ahcb87 #8069: You state that for every statin user with side effects there are 1,000 without. I would bet that many of the 1,000 are experiencing side effects that they are attributing to age, not putting two and two together. If you are having good results with statin, I am thrilled for you, but I know from experience how dangerous it can be. As for your statement "During clincal trials they stopped giving placebo to the control group, as the benefit of the statin was so great they felt it was wrong to deny it to them...." Isn't it a frightening thing to know the testing was not even allowed to conclude. Perhaps if they had given the trials the time they deserved, the side effects would have been observed. Shame on the FDA, which has been renamed the Fraud and Drug Administration, deservingly so.
