You have to look hard to find hydrogenated oils outside of baked goods, they're just not prevalent anymore. Statins ARE anti-inflammatory. How could you not know that?

Try not to embarrass yourself with misinformation about statins. Heart disease rates ARE lower among those who take statins AND who don't eat like Trump, aren't as morbidly obese as Trump.
I started taking this drug, with my statin, one year ago. Would you like and LDL reading of 39? ASK your cardiologist about this and get back to us.
Statin alternative significantly reduces heart disease deaths, new study finds
A daily pill, bempodoic acid, has the potential to lower risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke for people who can't or won't take statins.

An alternative to statins may help reduce deaths from heart disease among people with high levels of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, new research finds.
When taken as a daily pill, bempedoic acid lowered LDL cholesterol and showed a significant 39% reduction in heart disease deaths and heart attacks, researchers reported Saturday at the American Diabetes Association’s annual meeting. The findings were simultaneously published in JAMA.
“What we saw really surprised me,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Steven Nissen, chief academic officer of the Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute at the Cleveland Clinic. “I hope this will be a wake-up call for patients and physicians.”
Right now, fewer than half the people who should be prescribed a cholesterol-lowering medication because of heart disease risk are getting it, according to Nissen. That needs to change, he said.
“Treating people who have risk factors before their first cardiovascular event would have large benefits,” not just in preventing complications but also in preventing deaths, he said.
What is a healthy level of cholesterol?
Bempedoic acid, which was approved in 2020 by the Food and Drug Administration, is not as effective as statins, which are considered the gold standard in treating high cholesterol. However, many people stop or refuse to take statins because of possible side effects such as muscle pain, headaches, sleep problems and digestive problems.
Recent research found that about 20% of people at high risk for heart disease refuse to take statins when prescribed by their doctor. Women in particular were less likely to accept a statin prescription, according to the study published in JAMA Network Open.
Although the new study looked at only the impact of bempedoic acid on people who had adverse reactions to statins, it found that lowering cholesterol resulted in a significant decrease in heart attacks and heart-disease related deaths.
What's most important is to get blood cholesterol to healthy levels, whether by taking a statin or bempedoic acid or other lipid-lowering medication, Nissen said in an interview.
