Like many drugs, statins are both potentially life-saving and potentially dangerous - due to the fact that some individuals develop increased liver enzymes (and liver damage when this is ignored or not tested for), along with muscle pain, and other side effects, as well.
Statins not only decrease total serum cholesterol and LDL levels, they also reduce inflammation in the cardiovascular system and throughout the body.
