So for those that slowly metabolize caffeine, would it be prudent to take a statin?

Probably not. It might be that you need the cholesterol to produce more steroid hormones. Statins not only stop you from making cholesterol but also CoQ10 as well.

It would probably be best to keep a check on your oxidative stress because that is what most likely triggers heart disease, not just cholesterol alone.
