Actually, that's not true. Plenty of people with low cholesterol have heart attacks.

Middle-aged men who have already had a heart attack are the only cohort who shows some benefit: there's a slightly lowered risk with statins. And statin use increases the incidence of congestive heart failure, by blocking CoQ10.

Do you have the genetic profile that could lead to ALS if you take statins? Because such a thing exists.

If statins were a miracle drug: there would be miracles. But there isn't. They don't have nearly the track record they have been pumped up to be; and the side effects are extremely serious.
