We watched it this morning. It presented both sides of the statins argument but to be honest it couldn't give any definitive answers. My GP is keen on me carrying on taking Atorvastatin, even though my cholesterol levels are pretty good now.

I watched all of the last series it was balanced too. Though with everything medical opinions always vary depending on who you speak to.
In the last series a contributor highlighted conflicting reports in the same publication being published on consecutive days.
