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.🛒 Amazon Store Fronthttps://www.amazon.com.au/shop/drsureshkhirwadkar🔥 https://themeatmedic.com🔥🔥 https://primalfusiondiet.com🔥🔥 https://drsuresh.com.au🔥📖 Get the eBooks now:Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Syndrome, Ultimate Guide to Low Carb Diets, 30 days Carnivore Diet challengeLearn more about my Primal Fusion Diet - intro guide available at primalfusiondiet.com👩‍🏫 Health courses and eBooks available at https://themeatmedic.com🎙️Audio podcast at podcast.themeatmedic.com💻 Join our Facebook group - The Meat-Based Tribe - available at https://facebook.com/groups/184626950960076/ ▶️ Subscription support available to support my work.
