The Meat Medic Podcast This is HUGE: Statins, Death Risk & LDL Myth? - Ep 77
Is everything we are taught about cholesterol a lie? Imagine a world where the very medications prescribed to save us from heart disease are, in fact, doing more harm than good. In this episode I dive into a this study that might just turn the tables on conventional wisdom.
I'm looking at this study from Zhou et al (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-024-03288-0) which used data from the UK Biobank study, and it's causing quite a stir on platforms like Reddit. This extensive research, involving over 110,000 participants, may just challenge long-held beliefs about LDL cholesterol and its role in heart disease. But as we peel back the layers, we uncover a narrative even more compelling than LDL's innocence: the potential peril of statins and cholesterol-lowering medications.
Statins, the go-to solution for cholesterol management, are under the microscope. Could these widely prescribed drugs be linked to an increased risk of death, overshadowing their supposed cardiovascular benefits?
Join me as I question the status quo, armed with evidence and a critical eye. This episode is not just a discussion—it's a call to rethink everything we've been taught about cholesterol, heart health and medications.
