Comment Re: Statins are shit (Score -1) 65

main problem with statins is so many discontinue due to the adverse effects, but they would need to continue for years to see the benefits.

benefits being not having a heart attack/stoke.

So hard to see the benefits.

as for cholesterol - very well proven, high ldlc causes atherosclerosis, and its that which increases the risks.

Oh, also, very high ldlc decreases your risk of a stroke - because you are so much more likely to die of a heart attack before you aee old enough to die of a stroke.
