[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2205014, member: 506169"] Not sure about that, since a recent 10yr study showed that those in the higher LDL category lived longer than those in the lower LDL category in a study population of those with a prior Stroke, heart Attack or Heart failure. So how are statins helping? Is it that those with the higher LDL were on Statins? So they aren't lowering the LDL but they are reducing deaths? Or that higher LDL is protective? - In which case why take a Statin to negate that beneficial effect? [/QUOTE]
