This Statin issue is such a Hot Topic and discussed by many. We have a discussion going on the other health group I'm active on and almost everyone is against statins but two people and one's husband is an MD and the other person works in some capacity in a medical office. They never give up on their "science" angle. I'd say they have special interests in statins. I'd NEVER take them. I've been talking about how enough mention cholesterol myth.
