    Regarding testosterone, statins have been shown to lower it. This makes sense given cholesterol is required for the production of almost all, if not all hormones. This endless push to get cholesterol lower without scientific reason is causing huge problems. Don't tell me the incidence of low T and e.d. skyrocketing at the same time statin use skyrocketed is a coincidence.

    I agree 100%. I have about as much interest in statins, as I have in becoming a eunuch...and they might be related.
