[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2402262, member: 256617"] Taking statins allows you to live around 5 more days after major event ("their figures, not those who are anti-statin). When followed it is either 50 / 50 of the cohort that die with so called elevated cholesterol or low cholesterol, or those with lower cholesterol marginally die quicker. Statins increase the risk of diabetes (not disputed). The low carb / keto community generally say your cholesterol level is naturally determined (circa 80 - 85% is made by the body), and that it is damaged cholesterol that is deleterious to health (carbs / sugar / vegetable oil as the match). The mainstream view is that total cholesterol above around 5 is the problem, also saturated fat, and that we should use statins / food choices to lower. Considering the actual facts, i'm with the low carbers; after all, the other view was on an hypothesis perpetuated by a man who was proved to have lied. His lies don't mean he may not have been right on this occasion, but on the evidence of subsequent RCT's, as well as contradictory observational / historical evidence, such as how long Hong Kong people live and community outcomes for those who eat a lot of cholesterol / fat at the very least disprove the diet heart hypothesis.
