Sounds like 'Today's solution is tomorrow's problem." - Tom
The danger of high cholesterol is well documented and the use of statins does lower this danger dramatically. Per the article there is an increased danger of diabetes in those that use statins.
This may be correct or not. It should also be noted that many with high cholesterol are also obese which is a major risk factor for diabetes. The point being without all the risk factors of the patient considered this article is of no worth even though it “might be” correct.
We have many years of data on the use of statins. I suspect this article is in error.
