Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so if you have low peripherals as master all you worry that if the statin is crossing the blood-brain barrier which is what it would do if it were a lipophilic statin you would inhibit the production of this master all they're inhibiting the production of cholesterol in the brain would be a very bad thing because it's needed for membranes and cellular metabolism
there's also concerns about dementia especially with the lipophilic statins especially with the Stalin statins that cross into the brain because if you inhibit the production of cholesterol in the brain you are gonna end up with some major things
