I read an article in Time magazine that says around 12 million women in America are prescribed statin drugs. Most of them don’t have heart disease, just high cholesterol. But are these drugs really beneficial? Not so much for women, researchers say. Research shows that women do not get the same protective benefits from statins [...]
