[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2513747, member: 196898"] I can remember reading a study from an Australian Hospital where they found that post mortems on many indivuals who had passed due to cardiac events had low LDL readings., and that there seemed to be no evidence that high LDL was connected to heart disease. However this study has been withdrawn because it is known that LDL decays naturally after death, and that this was the effect that was observed, making the study unsound. Now I remember that this team went back to the pre death medical history and manged to re-associate with their findings, but this action was halted by legal means. They were unable to complete their follow up. So I am delighted to find that somone else has picked up the challenge and indeed has gone back deeper into history too to update the findings [URL]https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/article/95/6/397/1559536[/URL] These studies were instrumental in me coming to my conclusion to not take statins, but up till now the evidence had been suppressed. I also found this study report in the Lancet: [URL]https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140673601055532/fulltext[/URL] [/QUOTE]
