Yes, and I have read some pretty impressive books about why statins don't work (like The Statin Damage Crisis) or can actually be detrimental to your health. But in the back of my mind I always kept the "surely it can't be totally right (even though it appeared 100% convincing), because that would be a scandal of epic proportions, maybe I'm missing something" doubt. I hope you know what I mean; it always feels strange to go against the grain of the medical powers-that-be.

But with this it becomes officially acknowledged that people have been taking the wrong advice for 5 decades, even though the evidence was very weak. "Heart problems? Oh, just take statins and avoid salt".

To keep it to this section: people who have gotten PN because of statins probably feel quite a bit of anger when they hear this news.
