Five years ago I made the prediction that the geniuses in statin marketing would slide cholesterol out and inflammation in and never miss a statin sale. Along came JUPITER to prove me right. Now, even though your cholesterols are all well within normal, if your CRP (C-reactive protein) is elevated, you are a candidate for a statin drug, for atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process and CRP is an excellent marker for this condition. 

Now that doctors can begin to think rationally about optimum dosing they will find that significant anti-inflammation will result from doses much less than what has been used.
