That statins may induce "Brain Fog" is one of the most controversial of supposed adverse effects. In this video, I take a look at why it is controversial and why doctors' not taking it seriously is a disservice to their patients.
I consulted numerous papers and websites, though only had time to reference a few in this video.
For more information, these papers, reviews, and websites may be of interest, including some which maintain that statins do not cause this condition:
