Statins could increase cancer risk - Telegraph
Extract:
"Drugs taken by millions of people to cut the dangers of suffering of heart attacks or strokes could increase the risks of developing cancers, scientists say.
Researchers found patients taking statins to lower their cholesterol levels had a slightly elevated chance of getting cancer.
However, they said it was unclear where the higher risk was caused by having lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or by taking the drugs."
A completely safe way to lower high cholesterol levels is to reduce your intake of salt/sodium. This has many other health benefits too, including lowering the risk of developing cancer or of having a heart attack or a stroke.
