“Statins show some benefit and some detriment for people. It appears low carb dieters don’t really need statins, if their health is otherwise good.”
Most people who don’t blindly believe their doctors* already know the above.

my diet is definitely high protein and very low carbs. Turns out, I really don’t care for carbs much. I really don’t like pasta at all, except for the occasional mac and cheese. In fact I can’t think of any carbs that I enjoy other than that. I’m at the right weight for my BMI and I maintain it easily.
In your opinion, should I be taking this statin they put me on?
I remember reading a link to statin overprescription and the explosion of kidney failure and dialysis clinics not sure if there is anything to that but bears some looking into.
