Dr Aseem Malhotra has some good information out there in relation to Cholesterol and Statins. https://doctoraseem.com/

There are tons of credible studies that show statins increase the risk of alzheimerā€™s, parkinsonā€™s, and dementia. As well as higher cholesterol decreases the risk of those diseases. Your brain is 60% fat. Its the fattiest organ in the bodyā€¦ why wouldnā€™t you want to feed it fats? Cholesterol is good for brain health. I personally would rather run the risk of dying fast from a heart attack than slow debilitating death from diseases of the brain. Thatā€™s just me though.

It absolutely can. Lower LDL = higher risk of All Cause Mortality. The CW desire to lower LDL using statins is the biggest drug con in medical history. It harms patients.

The motivation to do this is based on the flawed ā€œscienceā€ of the Ancel Keys era which we now know to be utterly wrong. The drug companies are making literally trillions of dollars from statins and therefore have an army of people working to keep the status quo.

The issue is that you donā€™t have much control over LDL. You canā€™t really raise it for instance. (The Dave Felman ideas are only temporary.) My LDL is relatively low by ā€œnormalā€ standards, as is my total cholesterol, and thereā€™s pretty much nothing I can do about it.
