[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 123802, member: 15235"] [USER=14623]@jdthoosier[/USER], Where in the "vast body of literature" is there even one study that shows that statins extend life (i.e. reduce all-cause mortality)? The most recent one from several years ago said that life-span increase over 5 years was anywhere from -5 to +17 days. That to me is a rounding error and IMO the margin of error is far larger than that, which says "no benefit". Other studies have shown the same. That alone should show that even if LDL is a problem, lowering it provides no benefit and statins have been shown to produce a large and growing list of problems. Also, the weak association between LDL and CVD goes away completely if one has fairly high HDL and low trigs, and/or fairly low fasting insulin. The major point in all of this is that there are much more impactful things to do to reduce the chance of CVD, specifically keeping fasting insulin low, keeping blood sugar spikes to a minimum, getting sun exposure, and all the other things Dr. Kendrick and others have described.
