Why do doctors prescribe us statins, while researchers advise against taking them?

Yes, there are alternatives to statins for lowering cholesterol. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation. Some possible alternatives to statins include lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, increasing physical activity, and possibly trying other cholesterol-lowering medications. It is important to work closely with your healthcare team to find the best approach for managing your cholesterol levels effectively.
