Find exclusive offers for podcast listeners at nutritionwithjudy.com/podcast.  _____ **Podcast Update: It looks like I accidentally switched the terms: absolute risk reduction vs relative risk reduction. Regardless of the terminologies, the point was to see what funny games statisticians will use for marketing pharma drugs (and this happens in a lot of types of marketing...) To see a clear write-up of the absolute risk vs relative risk, you can read an article I shared about it: https://www.nutritionwithjudy.com/old-newsletter/why-statins-dont-stop-heart-attacks/ In this episode, I walk through why statins are prescribed (especially with LDL above 190 mg/dL or with type 2 diabetes), and I explain how statin marketing can make the benefits look bigger than they really are by using relative risk instead of absolute risk. I also cover major concerns I see with statins, including nutrient depletion (like CoQ10) and potential impacts on muscle function over time. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
