AFAIK the whole statin 'industry' has been built up on the assumption that lowering serum cholesterol will decrease plaque build-up - but it has not been proven. Reading that article on CoQ10 makes me wonder if I'm a candidate to take it, without the statins. The more I exercise, the lower my good cholesterol goes, which sure has my doc puzzled.
