The efficacy and necessity
of these drugs has long been debated
in the natural health
world — mainly questioning whether the absolute benefit
of the drug justifies the lifetime prescription or whether the approach
of «blocking» cholesterol makes sense given that cholesterol is
vital for so many
other areas of human health — but for those that do decide to take Lipitor, Crestor or
other statins, it's important to consider the drug's
other effects on the body.
