I'm glad they mention how people on statins will still eat a poor diet. Good that we read all these articles.

The related article "How Statins Work – And Why They’re Not Enough" I thought gave a good account about statins and concluded that lifestyle is the real answer.

Ideal Health

“I have one last point on statins and your health,” concludes Dr. Scheib.

“Yes, statins can lower blood cholesterol. But if you rely solely on statins for good overall health, chances are you will not get good overall health. Statins will not help you shed weight. Statins will not help you become more physically fit. Statins will not lower your risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, many cancers, arthritis, and gall bladder disease.

“For all the above, plus optimal levels of blood cholesterol, plus a much better quality of life, a healthy lifestyle is the answer. And the Pritikin lifestyle is the ideal answer.”
