@ketogrillbakery @SBakerMD No reason for him to either. The harm caused by statins outweighs the benefit, if any, of lowering his LDL "to target." And higher LDL is correlated with greater longevity. https://t.co/kQX6b59evz.

@ResearchGuyy @ChrisMorell @BiggestComeback "After full adjustment, higher LDL was associated with an increased odds of survival with intact mobility, although no association was seen for HDL."
