SuperFoods are far more than just "supplements" like vitamins and minerals. They are foods that provide health benefits far beyond their recognized nutritional value. They help us to embrace health instead of fighting disease. When you increase your SuperFoods consumption the inevitable result is a more nutrient dense, lower calorie, health promoting diet. And the best thing is that SuperFoods make creating health fun and pleasurable. Remember, Mother Nature is nutritionally complex so that we don't have to be.

If you use any drug with the word statin in it then you need to read this material and make up your own mind. The question should be "are they effective in reducing heart disease"?
In very simple terms the pharmaceutical companies produced statin type drugs to respond to the belief that you can reduce the incidence of heart attacks by reducing the level of cholesterol in the blood.
The basis for the belief and use of statins comes from the call to adopt low fat/low cholesterol diets of the late 1980s and 1990s.
Maybe, just maybe, its not a sound decision.
