This may not apply to most of you as I feel this is a much younger group but it could. I got my mind "fixed" about this cholesterol industry yrs ago...

My work led me to the value of magnesium for heart health and that's been my "go to" mostly for cardio health.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
The food industry shifted away from saturated fat and cholesterol to improve public health, and the medical industry has massively promoted the use of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs for the same reason. Despite that, the rate of heart disease deaths has steadily risen

Research has found that the more LDL (so-called “bad”) cholesterol is lowered, the greater the risk of heart attacks and strokes

The Minnesota Coronary Experiment, published in 2016, found replacing saturated fat with vegetable oil increased mortality and cardiovascular events, even though total cholesterol was lowered by 13.8%. For each 30 mg/dL reduction in serum cholesterol, the death risk rose by 22%

Since the commercialization of statin drugs in the late ‘80s, total sales have reached nearly $1 trillion. Lipitor is the most profitable drug in the history of medicine. Yet these drugs have done nothing to derail the rising trend of heart disease

While there are studies claiming to show statins lower your risk of heart attack, many involve misleading plays on statistics. Statins also have many serious side effects

I forgot to add I believe the escalating cases of memory loss in today's world is caused more by the pushing of these statins. My parent's generation had none of these statins and I know my parents had good memories into their 90's when they died and I feel many of my other relatives had good minds...none of the statins.
