Halleluia! There's a crack in the dam.

... The crack is small, but it is clearly visible.

...I have a THING for statin drugs - not a good thing. Of all the drugs on the market, these might well be the most dangerous, mainly because so many people take them - unnecessarily.

...The side effect profile of statins includes myopathy (weakened muscles), pain, and liver damage.

...Our FDA is acknowledging that there might be a dose relationship for these drugs. High amounts are showing increased bad side effects. We're not at a place where the officials will warn us against statins. They should and I predict that they will. It won't happen quickly, but over time. We will arrive at a place where we're not killing ourselves with statins.
