HA! You are preaching to the choir here... latest research shows lowering LDH ( the "bad" cholesterol) to levels many docs recommend increases stroke risk in women, too.. What is most important is the HDL/LDH ratio, but a lot of doctors don't pay attention to it.. just the total and it's easier to write a prescription than to look at all the details, including lifestyle.

I meant "LDL" not "LDH", Also the risk is for hemorrhagic stroke ( of course, always observe the caveat that if something may raise the risk , that doesn't mean it raises the risk for everyone ) and the research specifically is talking about LDL below 70. The current "ideal" LDL tha many doctors push is 100 ( again, in my opinion, they should be looking at the HDL/LDL ratio, primarily). See Neurology, April 10: https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2019/04/10/WNL.0000000000007454.long
