n. Illinois | I am with John Burns on this. Statins do not have sufficient benefit to out weight the risks associated with them
American Journal of Medicine Vol 131 No 9 dated in September of 2018
Meta Analysis of 29 major Statin Trials.
Only 2 Trials showed any mortality Benefit out of the 29 trials. So the facts tell us that they do not save lives. This is Big Pharma own Studies where they hide the actual raw data.
They prescreen all trials IE they give the drugs before the initial start of the trial and they drop anyone who complains early on about known side effects before the official start of the trials. (very common tactic used by Big Pharma)
The whole saturated fat causes high Cholesterol which causes cardiac heart disease is a myth.
It has its start with A Prof Ancel Keys from Univ Minnesota who pushed a theory of saturated fats caused heart disease by doing fraudulent studies that he published to push his theory. He cherry picked countries in his seminal study showing a link between saturated fat consumption vs heart disease. If you look at the information from all of the countries he studied you would see zero correlation He was a bully and had the position and power to destroy other scientists who disagreed with him at the time.
He did a studied to prove once and for all he was right and when he proved his own theory wrong, He didn't actually publish his work, He hide the data and after he died other researchers found the data analyzed it properly and published the results proving that Ancel Keys Theory was incorrect. but by that time a whole industry had developed around pushing this lie, Fats in our diets were replaced by Sugar's and Sugar is the actual problem as it creates the metoboloic disfunction which leads to type 2 diabetes and all of other complications resulting in early deaths. Its Carbs and Sugars that are dangerous not meat and saturated fats.
Higher cholesterol values are associated with longer lives as you age. IE the higher your cholesterol is the longer you live. the lower it is the shorter your life span is. Your body makes like 60-70% of the cholesterol in your body as its a critical component of many metabolic processes. So why on earth would you want to lower it?
Oh by the way the Doctors today are performance measured by how many of their clients are on certain drugs very few doctors are independent they are all employees of a company that can let them go tomorrow if they want, They get used to having that high income folks and they will do nothing to threaten that. So the car salesmen is now in control of your health and of course you need that latest greatest Highest profit margin Drug or procedure. etc. etc. | |
