I think that all mice should take these drugs.

However, among aging humans, the higher your cholesterol the longer you live.

I have had that impression based on longevity in the family and the fact that while I am 85, many people guess me as in my 60s. My cholesterol hovers between 200 and 250. The doctor urged me to take statins, but they didn’t help my mother live longer, both she and my father died at age 90. My fathers father died at 98 and had 2 sisters who died at 103 and 106. I have thus rejected statins. On the other hand there is something called Red Yeast Rice, which seems useful as a healthy giving food in China for many centuries. Anyone have more information on that?

My 2 sons in their early 50s have both had polyps removed, and my brother had colon cancer surgery, and is now dying of metastatic liver cancer. It had been improving, but then he took a 4th Covid Vaccine, and immediately got much worse. I am wondering if I should take the red yeast rice I bought a while ago but never started taking.
