I was on the fence for decades about statins; but now that they're on the 4$ list at Walmart, I feel slightly more comfortable saying that statins are a miracle drug. They talked a big game but have actually been able to back it up.

Reversing atherosclerotic plaque deposition is probably one of the very few major medical breakthroughs of my lifetime. Your cholesterol numbers are not really relevant, we are all at risk of heart disease here in burger kingdom. If you're over 40 you should probably be on a statin.

Coenzyme Q10 on the other hand, I'm pretty sure is complete horseshit but boy do the cardiologists love to talk about it.
