I read somewhere that beyond a certain age, everybody should be on statins.
That’s why so many people over a certain age walk with a cane, can’t kneel and have some stage of dementia. It’s been proven that the brain needs a certain amount of cholesterol to function properly, and statins cause leg pain. I’ve been on 3 different statins, had legs pains so intense each time that I had to use a cane to walk properly, couldn’t kneel. (I’m only 60.) Each time I came off the statin, within two weeks I had complete flexibility in my legs and could kneel again, and my brain fog cleared up.
