The side effect profile, contrary to kind of all the sort of statin-hating propaganda out there, very benign, right? 5% of people experience muscle soreness, which reverses upon cessation.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
5% of people genuinely and legitimately legitimately get a muscle soreness
in a population statens uh worsen or cause cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease there's a few studies that even suggest perhaps some lowering maybe that's through a scerotic cerebral vascular disease who knows but don't worry that Statin in the overwhelming vast majority people are not hurting the brain
invariably would stop the Statin try another one it usually occurred or if it didn't fine but if not then we'd have to figure out other ways to lower LDL cholesterol which was not easy years ago but anyway my hypothesis nowadays is these small number of people who get brain fog I wish I had dmol levels on them could some people be very sensitive to the effects of a Statin
in general if you analyze all of the stattin data the many trials be they observation or randomized control there is no signal whatsoever that in a population statens uh worsen or cause cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease there's a few studies that even suggest perhaps some lowering maybe that's through AOS scerotic cereal vascular disease who knows but don't worry that Statin in the overwhelming vast majority people are not hurting the brain
