Everything in the field of human nutrition and health is made up of "ifs and maybes" there are very few, if any, absolute proofs.. there is no "the science".

I'd suggest if you think that there are it's you who need to read the papers a bit more carefully.

I'm simply representing some alternative views to the "mainstream" so people are better informed.

True, not mainstream, just random oddball theories, no science, just ifs and buts.
And you seem to believe you are a great teacher, regurgitating "new" studies, and thinking people haven't realised what the great conspiracy is?
Possibly we have seen them already, and decided they are alongside the reports we need to wear tinfoil hats?

This is a forum full of people that do their own research, maybe we just have a filter when we first find these things, we read them, and simply don't feel the need to tell everyone we have read them?

You can decide to dismiss every pro statin study by saying its all a big pharma conspiracy, and the odd few that speak out must be right, as they support your view, so your "maybe's" are fine, but proven studies must be engineered by the statin companies, but most of us read both sides, and make an intelligent assessment based on all the views and quality of data.

But, if that's what you want to do, don't worry about those of us that go for facts based on data.
Keep churning.

Whereas
Statins work for very many people.
Up to 15 million more now it seems.

And yet cardiovascular disease remains the biggest killer globally... shouldn't the amazing benefits of taking statins have shown up by now?

I think the moderate reduction in CVD deaths could equally well be explained by the vast numbers of people stopping smoking over the past 50 years.

Nope, cholesterol is accumulative.
Lay it down not, it'll kill you later.
As you say, tobacco effects accumulate over 50 years, cholesterol is the same.

High cholesterol lays down plaque, it's not a magic illness that'll block arteries instantly.
So, you can have high cholesterol today, and perfect arteries.
Give it a few years, it'll look like a headline advert for Dyno-rod.
Actually, let us know?
