One can find studies that are more recent....
like this one:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20687089
This reminds me of the 20 yrs of positive effects of estrogen on postmenopausal women.... Which were results from drug company studies. The European ones at the time, were much different. In the end one large study here independent of the drug companies called the HERS study... ended prematurely due to the deaths of women using estrogen.
One can find studies on anything...but the sum total of people who have been injured keeps rising concerning this topic. Medical studies always go back and forth, and the reasons for this are hard to pin down. It happens on every topic.
The facts that statins injure or damage mitochondria, and also
prevent remyelination in the CNS are rather new, and disturbing IMO.
Simvastatin is lipophilic and enters the brain easily. Lipitor is mixed. And lovostatin and pravastatin are less likely to cause CNS side effects.
