““Finally, the results of a randomized clinical trial of more than 1,000 patients, published in the June 2012 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, found that women experienced a disproportionate level of extreme fatigue and decreased energy levels after taking statin medications to lower their cholesterol. So if you are a mother or a career woman taking statins, don’t assume it’s your busy life that’s zapped you of energy; it might be those cholesterol pills prescribed to supposedly make you healthier. At the very least, all these studies make it clear that it’s not only worth taking a closer look at the evidence, it’s worth asking if women should be lowering their cholesterol at all.””
