Do Statins Really Cause Dementia?
<p>Dostatins really cause dementia? There have been many differing opinions about what they do. Some claim that it may help to protect one from dementia, while others claim that it may accelerate the onset of dementia.</p>
<p>However, recent research suggests that those who do take <strong><em>lipophilic </em></strong>statins do face issues with regards to the metabolism in their <a href="https://scitechdaily.com/statins-used-to-lower-cholesterol-linked-to-doubled-risk-of-developing-dementia/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">posterior cingulate cortex</a>, which is the part of the brain that gets first hit during the onset of Alzheimer’s.</p>
<p>To clarify things, a lipophilic statin is one that preferentially dissolves in fat. “Lipo” being “fat” and “philic” being “loving”, so a lipophilic statin prefers being surrounded by fat. Whereas a hydrophilic statin is one that preferentially dissolves in water.</p>
