why do people take statins for lowering cholesterol? statins block the biosynthesis of both cholesterol AND CoQ10 (CoQ10 is a first line antioxidant found in the mitochondria that literally is a free radical scavenger). Because it reduces CoQ10...it increases the risk of cancers and worsens current cancers. So why the fuck do people think its ok to use these drugs?
