What they do if you don't have high cholesterol is they stabilize any pre-existing plaques and also prevent them from getting worse -- thereby preventing blockages and heart attacks.

People without currently high cholesterol can still have plaques and pre-existing issues that these drugs could help. This research is still really early and preliminary.

-- therefore --

my opinion is that I really don't think it's ethical to slander these researchers without proper information first.
