So, I just randomly decided to do an online search for "cholesterol medication and skin cancer" because I've heard that your body creates vitamin D from cholesterol with sun exposure and wondered if it's possible that taking cholestorol lowering drugs increases risk for skin cancer. I was surprised to find dozens of studies correlating statin consumption and skin cancer, and none that correlate high cholesterol and skin cancer. Mind blown.
@atyh thank you for putting me onto this line of investigation, if I hadn't heard of this connection between cholestorol and vitamin D production I never would've gone down this path.
