  • Critics argued that the trial's results might overestimate the benefits and underestimate potential risks, raising concerns about over-medication and medicalization of healthy individuals.
  • The controversy highlights the need for careful interpretation of trial data and personalized approaches in preventive cardiovascular treatment, influencing guidelines and clinical practice.]

@TuitNutrition @LDLSkeptic @DaveKeto @siobhan_huggins I've got no dog in this fight, but when I mention it to doctors (who generally aren't very curious...), they think statins are obviously good. For example, https://t.co/TLy40QdInY shows statins reduced stroke and heart attacks by 50% over 4 years.

@GraduatedBen @ggreenwald Statins don’t work?? Jupiter study says otherwise. Where is your peer reviewed study which supports your claim? Doctor of what discipline, may I ask? https://t.co/yTnJQidN3m
