Thoughts on cardiologist Aseem Malhotra? Listening to him cite numbers, it seems any perceived benefit to Statins is in-fact statistically bleak.

Whenever looking into a health claim, it's always important to understand what populations were studied, what was being compared, and what was the outcome. Going back to my revised statement I made sure to frame it: "for people who are recovering from a coronary event" as the population "replacing animal fats with corn oil" was the comparison and "increases the risk of dying by 5.8%" was the outcome.
I'm not able to watch the full video but that's often why there's conflicting claims and variation between studies. It's not that they're wrong, but they're not arguing the same point. If there's a way to find his review, I'd be happy to look into it more.
