As for the diabetic group more study was needed as the results were inconclusive. As for statins.... They are prescribed like lollies and may or may not be of benefit as other medical conditions of the patient have to be considered. Which is really problematical.
Nope, Aractus brought up cholesterol. All the studies show that humans produces more than enough cholesterol to satisfy our requirements. If you are saying that this production is not in fact enough then show some studies demonstrating any deficiencies caused by low dietary intake of cholesterol.
The diabetes study is not inconclusive, perhaps you misunderstood what the paper meant when it says there is no significant difference between the production of cholesterol in normal and diabetic people. This is not an inconclusive result, it shows that effectively that diabetics have normal production of cholesterol.
Statins are one of the most effective drugs we have, so not quite sure what to make of your final statement.
