It's just the goddamn press.

From the article:

"it does not prove that low LDL cholesterol levels can increase cancer risk. "

"While this highlights an association between low levels of LDL and cancer, this is not the same as saying that low LDL or statin use increases the risk of cancer," said June Davison, cardiac nurse.

"There is overwhelming evidence that lowering LDL cholesterol through statins saves lives by preventing heart attacks and strokes. These findings do not change the message that the benefits of taking statins greatly outweigh any potential risks."

They get their stupid headline which gets you to read a nothing finding. There will always be singular conflicting studies.. thats why there are so many of these stupid articles.
