Another problem with medications is that a lot of the studies done on them 
are very selective as to who is in the study.  They know in advance what the 
possible side effects may be and then choose folks who statistically, 
historically, medical history-wise won't get the side-effects.

The statins mentioned in the article are just such a medication.  The 
studies done on them showed few side-effects.  The results IRL are that well 
over 15% of the folks who take prescription statins have *serious* 
side-effects--muscle paralysis, amnesia, severe liver problems, CANCER, etc. 
And Big-Pharma has worked real hard to keep the studies linking them to 
cancer well buried!
