- Blackthorn 3y agoStatins on a wide scale could make for the single greatest life expectancy increase we could get anywhere...that would be awesome.
- pessimizer 3y agoI hear that every few years from press releases written by people who sell statins.
- Blackthorn 3y agoDoesn't make it wrong.
- throwaway290 3y agoNot wrong, merely irrelevant.
- Valmar 3y agoStatins are dangerous... they block cholesterol, which incidentally, is fundamental, crucial, even, to the formation of both cell membranes and innumerable important hormones. They are no solution at all. Just a fad.

Anyone telling you otherwise is doing so because of financial incentive, not from following the actual science.

- lxe 3y ago> These are just a few of the images we've recorded. And you can see, it wasn't what we thought. There's been no war here and no terraforming event. The environment is stable. It's the Pax. The G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate that we added to the air processors. It was supposed to calm the population, weed out aggression. Well, it works. The people here stopped fighting. And then they stopped everything else. They stopped going to work, they stopped breeding, talking, eating. There's 30 million people here, and they all just let themselves die.

- dr_kiszonka 3y agoWouldn't statins lower cholesterol in large populations of people who need it to, e.g., produce hormones? I can't imagine anyone wanting to inhibit the production of sex hormones (testosterone, estradiol, etc.) in children.
