Cholesterol-lowering drugs mess with these processes and lead to many problems. Cholesterol medicines double your risk of developing dementia, according to a new study. In this video, I'll explain the study and give you the list of lipophilic medicines which double your risk of developing dementia. Please share this information with anyone you know who is taking cholesterol medications because it could save them from early dementia. The Study: https://jnm.snmjournals.org/content/62/supplement_1/102 The American Heart Association's stance on dietary cholesterol: \"Previously, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited to no more than 300 milligrams per day. The 2015 DGAC [Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee] will not bring forward this recommendation because available evidence shows no appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol, consistent with the conclusions of the AHA/ACC report. Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption\" https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/CIR.0000000000000743 LIES MY DOCTOR TOLD ME: https://amzn.to/2MtuDjo Hydrophilic or Lipophilic Statins? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8172607/ (Climent et al.)

Hydrophilic statins - pravastatin (Pravachol), and rosuvastatin (Crestor) PCSK9 Inhibitors Repatha (evolocumab) and Praluent (alirocumab) were not included in this study so we don't know yet if they will also double your risk of dementia, or worse.
