Can anyone help me refute this article?

Members don't see this ad.

My dad had blood work recently which showed he had high cholesterol. His family physician advised him to go on a statin. My aunt (a homeopathic medicine fanatic) showed him this article and told him to focus on limiting his caffeine intake instead:

Statin Side Effects: 5 Reasons Why You Should Not Take Statins

Now he is afraid to start a statin and won't go on one.

What do I say to him??

Not technical (sorry) but I would be wary of any article that tries to sell me "The MOST IMPORTANT Health Book You’ll Ever Read!" at the end of the article

your dad should discuss this with his personal physician. SDN is not for medical advice.
