Good morning! I get so many calls about the misinformation spread all over social media sites and the internet in general. Plese believe me that statins don't cause dementia. They do quite the opposite. I take Rosuvastatin!! The meta-analysis of 55 studies in 7 million patients is hot of the press and published in the official journal of the Alzheimer's Association
Highlights
