Everybody and their grandmother is being prescribed statins to lower cholesterol because "LDL = bad"
Ever wonder, just how much risk is being reduced by this highly mitochondrial poison we call statins?
In a meta-analysis of 18 clinical trials (which typically look at the highest risk patients with pretty bad cardiovascular disease), all cause mortality was reduced by 0.8%
That's it.
New-onset diabetes with statin use has been observed in about 10% of people who have taken it for a few years.
