There's a lot of misinformation out there.

And algorithms often drive you to inaccurate information.

So the feeds on Instagram are often driven by algorithms and what you search.

So my younger son, that's my older son, I have a younger son who very much wants a golden retriever.

So my Instagram feed is loaded with goldies, where I think everyone has a goldie, or it's on a lot of wellness information, having been at WebMD and a physician.

And like many people in the population, I'm on a statin for primary prevention because of high lipids.

And I've been starting to, I like to read other doctors' feeds.

And there's a bunch of cardiologists that are saying, you don't really need to be on a statin.

It really should be diet and exercise.

And that statins actually can increase dementia, not decrease dementia.

Now, here I am.

I've been a physician for 20 plus years.

I know the data.

on statins and I'm starting to think, maybe I don't need a statin.

And then I'm getting more doctor's feeds that are saying, you don't need to be on a statin.

And I'm thinking this can't be right.

So what do I do?

I dig a little deeper.

I see that many of these physicians that are talking about this are selling a particular product.
