CNBC reports on new study published in Journal of American College of Cardiology which shows lower LDL cholesterol linked to higher risk of cancer
CNBC's Mike Huckman reports that the review, of clinical trials of over 75K patients on statins, indicates that researchers saw a 3x increase in cancer risk, especially in those with a cholesterol level of 160 or below. However, the study did not show cause/effect; it is unclear if the reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol was the cause of the higher cancer risk. Researchers recommend that those on statins continue to remain on the medication, as the heart benefits still far outweigh any suspected cancer risk (StreetAccount LLC)
