Well we know it can cause diabetes surely thats bad enough in itself ?
Read a number of comments in this small thread and they should be enough for concern.
Think to the example given of Thalidomide in this thread? A drug which was proclaimed to be safe. If Today many would say where is the evidence as you are saying?
with Statins there is enough smoke to consider a fire and enough similar reports in even this small thread to give concern ?
So maybe your question of what does the evidence say should be replaced by where is the evidence that disproves the claims of patients in this thread and the claims of the research scientist below
Statins prevented stem cells from performing their main functions, to reproduce and replicate other cells in the body to carry out repairs.
The researchers found the statins prevented stem cells from generating new bone and cartilage.
They also found they increased ageing
so I would rather see the evidence that the scientist is wrong
