Interesting article on the Telegraph website about statins and memory loss. Just for info

For a person with memory loss he sure remembers a hell of a lot.

I thought statins were supposed to help prevent Alzheimers. I read it somewhere, can't remember where ...

Anyone who doubts the effects of statins on the brain should read this article.

Nice article Dennis - thanks

Eek Dennis, as someone who is on Lipitor I am now thinking very seriously of throwing them in the bin. My brother (who happens to be a GP) has always said to me that one day we will discover some very nasty side effects with statins and it will all come back to bite us on the bum!! I suspect he is entirely right and I really should listen to him more often!! :shock:
