> I'd 100% agree with this. But "your cholesterol sky rocketing a good sign" is not something the evidence currently shows.

"sky-rocketing" is a definite over-exaggeration here.

I would be curious to see what your response is to the link I posted in another comment here.

I am wondering how people that still reference these dated outlooks on cholesterol can explain why there is insufficient evidence of higher cardiovascular disease rates in those with high LDL in the presence of high HDL and low triglycerides, commonly called the "lipid triad"?

What the parent comment initially stated would lead me to believe that he falls into this lipid triad group and if I was in his shoes I would tell any doctor that recommended a statin to f* off if I had just started feeling the best I'd ever had in my life.

Also, can you send me some research for your points about statins having an increase in cognitive function? My understanding was that many were arguing the opposite and some meta-reviews I read on the topic suggested that more evidence was needed to make any clear observations.
