No drugs are miracle drugs. Statins have side effects, and while a net benefit for some, while not be a net benefit for others. Changing diet to an actually healthy one, where doable, should take priority over mass prescription of drugs.
I'll be sure to let all the type one diabetics know there are no such things as miracle drugs, and I'm sure everyone with congenital hyperlipidemias will be relieved to know they can just eat salads from here on out.
