Enjoy your diabetes and Alzheimer's! Statins are horrible for your body[/quote]

Better than having a heart attack.[/quote]

75% of heart attack patients have normal or low cholesterol. Lowering your cholesterol has nothing to do with preventing heart attacks.
But there is plenty of data that shows statins significantly increases your odds of developing diabetes[/quote]

"One study of almost 9,000 people showed that people in their 60s who used statins had an almost 40 percent higher risk of type 2 diabetes. They also had higher rates of high blood sugar and pre-diabetes, or insulin resistance. High blood sugar disorders underpin numerous chronic inflammatory conditions, including Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Previous research found a 50 percent increased risk of diabetes in women who took statins"[/quote]
