I know this thread is not focused on health and do not wish to derail too much but will say that statins are terrible for you and should never be taken as they cause A LOT of other problems in the body including dementia.
Not a big Joe Rogan fan or anything but this is a good guest explaining how cholesterol is misunderstood, and how statins are not as effective as people believe.
I read a book years ago from a heart surgeon that gave this info.
If you take 1200 IUs of vitamin E (400 IUs 3 times a day) you will prevent your arteries from clogging. If you add 3000mg a day of vitamin C (1000 mg 3 times a day) with the vitamin E, you will unclog arteries that already blocked. I know most will not believe it, but if you take these correctly then cholesterol is mostly unimportant.
My grandfather had a heart attack several years back. One of his arteries was 95% clogged. He started taking the E and C combo and after his next checkup one year later, that artery was only 15% blocked.
My father has also been taking vitamin E since he was young for chest pains when drinking coffee or caffeine. He got a scan done when my grandpa did and they said on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being no blockage, he was a 1. He was 60 at the time and has done very little cardio throughout his life, just rides a bike every once in awhile and eats typical country style home-cooked meals not focused on health food.
