I just read something yesterday that said they are now admitting at least half of the people who currently take statins don't need to. Make that 100% and it will be better!

It puts my "risk of cardiovascular death" quite a bit lower (as in not a risk) than whatever my pesky doc uses when he pushes me to take statins.
