Which of these studies do you consider to be cherries?

VIOLENCE AND LOW CHOLESTEROL
Frequently Asked Questions: Can it be the statins making me so irritable and
prone to angry outbursts?


It may be that the angry outbursts are caused by the Low Cholesterol, the
result of taking Lipitor or other statins.

Dr. Beatrice Golomb, who is now conducting the NIH funded Statin Study,
published 2 articles/studies on the connection between violence and low
cholesterol levels.

statin cholesterol-lowering drugs. QJM 97(4):229-235.
