I think this guy is more interested in selling his book than interested in helping people that are in need of medical attention! - BE WARY

I didn't read your link because I think the evidence speaks for itself. Statins are the standard of care to reduce risks of CAD, especially in diabetics. Statins probably won't affect a lesion that's already formed in the coronaries, but it can help prevent the lesion from advancing further.

Yeah, and decades of work by researchers, cardiologists, pharmacologists, pharmicists, etc. etc. are all rubbish because "Colpo" from a body building forum with pictures of muscular men wrote books saying so.
I guess the Lancet, BMJ, Medline, Cochrane etc. will close down very soon. Oh, and no more studying the VLDL/LDL/HDL cycle for me, yay!!

Yeah...I am really going to trust medical information from a body-building discussion forum.
Ever heard of peer-reviewed medical journals? That is where you should look for reliable science.

Are you aware that diabetics are CHD patients waiting to happen?
