Just Say No to Statins

Widespread myths about lowering your cholesterol with statins to improve your heart health still permeate modern medicine
A comprehensive review of the literature, published in 2018, found that LDL cholesterol does not cause heart disease, so statins’ ability to lower LDL is of dubious value
Over a five-year period, taking a statin once you’ve had a heart attack will only increase your life expectancy by four days
Just like COVID-19, they manipulated the statistics and grossly exaggerated statin benefits by conflating relative and absolute risks. If you take a statin, your chance of a heart attack is only 1.1% lower than if you're not taking it: that is your absolute, not relative, risk
Even though public health perpetuates the notion that lower LDL cholesterol is better, there’s no consistent relationship between lowering LDL with statins and death, heart attack or stroke
