I blame a lot of this on the widespread use of statin drugs.
Where is your data to back that assertion?
The FDA on Statin drugs:
FDA is advising consumers and health care professionals that: Cognitive (brain-related) impairment, such as memory loss, forgetfulness and confusion, has been reported by some statin users.
People being treated with statins may have an increased risk of raised blood sugar levels and the development of Type 2 diabetes.
Some medications interact with lovastatin (brand names include Mevacor) and can increase the risk of muscle damage.
Thank God I can’t tolerate these drugs.
I’ve had high bad cholesterol for about ten years and my primary care doctor is still trying to get me to give them “one more try.”
