[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7532773, member: 42914"] That's the point. I have no way to know whether it's just ageing or is being compounded by the Atorvastatin. I accept that sight degrades with age but how fast? So many over 50's are on statins that it could easily be a hidden effect. We don't know. We were told for decades to swap "unhealthy" butter and cream for "healthy" processed plant based fats to reduce our heart risk. That was based on the effect of statins and plant stenols, their natural equivalents. It's now clear that the "evidence" supporting this was cherry-picked and misinterpreted to support the drug industry and was funded by them. Those ultra-processed plant based fats are now recognised as being very bad for the exact health factors that they were promoted for. Unbiased scientific studies seldom exist these days in the field of health. I was persuaded to join a medical study at my heart attack by the consultant but I expect it is as much about the payment he will have received for recruiting me and increasing his professional profile by having his name linked to the study as about increasing knowledge about heart attack recovery rates. He's only human. The original heart health "study" by Ancel Keys leading to the demonising of cholesterol has been regualrly shown to be so biased and unfounded as to be close to scientific fraud. And yet dietary guidlines are still being based on it! [/QUOTE]
