    Here's the WSJ article with comments. I particularly noticed this one:

    "Five years ago, we published the first analysis of 60 cases of statin associated memory loss. The results of 2 large statin trials focusing just on cognition will be out soon. One is in people with normal cholestrol. These should provide more concrete answers to all of you on this site".

    I am posting this here as a public awareness campaign because I saw schist loads of ads regarding cholesterol on TV while in India.
