In 2016 Dr. Uffe Ravnskov and his team published a review in BMJ of 19 studies where the authors had followed more than 68,000 elderly people for several years after having measured their `bad` LDL-cholesterol. None of them found that LDL-cholesterol was bad; in fact, those with the highest values lived the longest; even longer than those on statin treatment
n more than a hundred newspapers and magazines all over the world, many statin advocates criticized our paper, but none of them was able to point at a study with the opposite result. Instead, three large industry-sponsored reviews were published, whose authors presented ´solid evidence´ for the benefits of statins.

seeing only those promoting statins and anti sat fat views were allowed their say why not at least allow comments from those with opposing views
