Lipophilic statins like atorvastatin and simvastatin were found to greatly reduce the likelihood of chronic liver disease becoming liver cancer.

Strangely, they even reversed some higher-risk fibrosis patients to low-risk categories.

I think this is a situation where the liver needs all the help it can get, even if statins may not be that helpful for other conditions.

Drinking less alcohol can help avoid liver issues.

Oh, please.

If grain alcohol showed reduced liver cancer risk medexpress would publish it.

Statins are poison and the sooner people accepted that - among other rather obvious facts, despite what so-called ‘doctors’ tell us - the better for all.

The only problem is that they disable and kill a lot of people.

Guess it’s pretty hard to get liver cancer when you have no liver thanks to the statins. That’s why I had to stop taking atorvastatin after 2 years of it. No liver disease so maybe that’s where statins are beneficial but I had statin induced liver damage and seizures.

They’re over prescribed, and will lead to alzheimers and a rise in blood sugar, and while they lower cholesterol they actually lower the type of large molecule cholesterol that isn’t bad for you. You can control liver disease via diet, stop abusing alcohol, get your blood sugar under control and quit ALL seed oils.

BS. Meanwhile, even if true, I could go make myself a sandwich and eat it before you could read all the negative side affects of statins. Statins are one of the biggest cash cows in the industry.

I had been trying to get Mr G off statins for years, but his cardiologist kept him on them. He has been getting weaker for quite a while. Then he started getting a LOT weaker, faster, to a crisis point. I checked his meds for conflicts and found there was a major conflict between statins and a heart med he had been put on. He is off both now, and getting stronger every day.
