Being an incorrigible liar, a repetitious nitwit with the vocabulary of a 10 year old....maybe....and an obvious science and economics illiterate simply gives the Morning Joe crew a head start.

700 milligrams of Vitamin C per day reverses heart disease. Too easy, statins not.
Right on vitamin C, wrong on statins .
Quote:
1.Statins stop the production of cholesterol. First, statins block the enzyme that creates cholesterol. Reduced production lowers the total amount of cholesterol available in your bloodstream.
2.Statins help reabsorb existing cholesterol. Your body needs cholesterol to perform certain tasks. These tasks include helping you digest food, make hormones, and absorb vitamin D. If statins lower your cholesterol level, your body can’t get the cholesterol it needs from your circulating blood. Instead, your body needs to find other sources of cholesterol. It does this by reabsorbing cholesterol that has built up as plaques containing LDL in your arteries.
And hen there is the salutary effect on inflammation, which may be key.
In addition to lowering bad cholesterol levels, statins also help bring down blood levels of CRP. Although the cholesterol-blocking effect is quite well understood, the mechanisms for reducing CRP and inflammation aren't fully known. Scientists believe that statins block the proteins and immune cells that are released as part of the body's normal inflammation process. Lowering these protein levels effectively prevents inflammation from occurring.
It also appears that long-term use of statins results in less inflammation in the heart and fewer complications . Studies of patients undergoing angioplasty with stenting show that those who were taking statins prior to the procedure had lower levels of CRP afterward and were less likely to have a heart attack or die in the year after the procedure.
If you're going to supplement with vitamin C for cardiovascular reasons, might as well do it right.
