I've never taken them, never been offered them and do not worry about the cholesterols fears thrown around out there in the world. A wise doctor I saw for some years was more interested in Homocysteine and she tested me there and I had elevated numbers, so went to work on that. And fear all the statins pushed on mega amounts of the population are the cause of advanced memory loss and the dementia and alzheimers out there. Many of the folks propped up in old age homes, etc. are mostly all drugged to the 9's with Statins and don't know who they are and where they are ---------------- And this memory loss issue starts much earlier, 50's and 60's onward..... STORY AT-A-GLANCE 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 https://articles.mercola.com/sites/...ore&cid=20230527&cid=DM1406404&bid=1811731695
