"Experts said more studies are needed...."
Translation:
Give us more monies for studies pleeze.
Also, never take statins.

I wonder how much the statin makers paid for this study?

I'm not sure. I only know that bad cholesterol causes diabetes, and diabetes causes mental degeneration. So far it makes sense.

Not even close. It's the other way around.

Cholesterol does not cause diabetes, poor diet does, which causes the body to produce greater insulin resistance.

But diabetes does have an affect on LDL levels, as discussed here:

I said bad cholesterol. Illiterate imbecile.

You're still wrong.

"Bad" cholesterol is LDL. And LDL levels do NOT cause diabetes. Diabetes is a disease where the body develops a resistance to insulin - which has zero causes from cholesterol.

Read the link. Diabetes can affect cholesterol, but cholesterol does not cause diabetes.

You are obviously not a doctor. Have fun posting random links.

LMAO. But you aren't either. At least I posted a link.

Prove your claim. There is ZERO literature that says cholesterol CAUSES diabetes.

There are MILLIONS of people with high "bad" cholesterol and even on statins to lower cholesterol that do NOT have diabetes.

Why would that be if cholesterol CAUSES diabetes?

75-80 percent of the population injected themselves with something that causes dementia.
