Statins and Cognition
Long-term use of statins raises significant concerns, particularly regarding their impact on insulin resistance and cognitive health. Research indicates that statins may worsen insulin sensitivity, potentially counteracting their intended benefits for heart disease. Additionally, a small study suggests a troubling link between statin use and cognitive decline, with patients showing improvement after discontinuation, only to decline again when reintroduced to the medication. The long-term implications of these medications remain uncertain, especially for younger individuals facing decades of use.In this clip
