Would you give your healthy son or daughter statin drugs?

Scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine recently announced that statin drugs should be considered as routine medication for sick and well alike.  Soon, the words “medication” and “supplementation” will merge-for the better of the people, of course! This study proposing routine statin use was partially funded by The American Heart Association’s PHARMACEUTICAL ROUNDTABLE OUTCOMES RESEARCH AWARD.   It seems that a 24-month study entitled the Jupiter study “showed that more people could benefit from taking statins, even if they have low cholesterol.”            Would you give your healthy son or daughter statin drugs?  Why, or why not?
