The statin skeptics all have protocols to address heart disease. It's not like they are advocating doing nothing about the risk.


They do to an extent, but the things they recommend are also recommended by cardiologists who prescribe statins. I mean, lifestyle and diet is going to be the first words out of a cardiologist's mouth when you see them and you have high cholesterol.

The reality, I think, is that that is just not a very effective treatment plan for a lot of people.
