This Podcast Will Kill You · Ep 218 The Lowdown on Statins · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

We're supposed to feel better from these medications.

We're supposed to feel better.

Something.

Something, yeah.

And so it makes sense that if you read horror stories about side effects of statins that abound on the internet, you're predisposed to expect that those bad outcomes will happen to you.

And what doesn't help this is that there is a vast amount of misinformation and disinformation about statins circulating on social media and generative AI.

There is a motive for people to be spreading some of this disinformation.

So, in fact, there was a recent study that showed that many generative AI models, when fed prompts asking about statins, especially if those prompts were leading, sort of like, what can I take?

Isn't there some evidence of these side effects with statins, like those kinds of…

Questions?

Yeah.

Or like, what should I take that's safer than statins?

Like, what natural product should I take that's safer than statins?

Okay.

But many of these models gave inappropriate and inaccurate answers.

That doesn't surprise me at all.

Right.

The sheer amount of misinformation that's out there and just sort of the overall decline or disregard of expertise that's happening around the globe.
