After reading this book, and the Doctoring Data book from the same author, I will never ever take Statins under any circumstances, nor if my mum and dad were alive, would I allow them to take Statins either.
Pharmaceutical companies in the 80’s and 90’s needed something to expand their income, based on prevention rather than cure.
So they came up with a cock and bull story about cholesterol and good and bad cholesterol and how it clogs up your arteries like fat in a sewer.
They make billions out of statins.
Unfortunately they have very bad side effects. Lowering cholesterol is one of them. The beneficial part of statins (widening your arteries) can be achieved with other drugs without the side effects. Its the nitrous oxide thats the beneficial part not the part that lowers your cholesterol.
Taking Statins doesn’t increase your life expectancy by any meaningful amount, it just means you die of something else instead, e.g. cancer or dementia.
They are constantly changing the guidelines of what is safe cholesterol bringing more people into that group that has to take them for life, giving millions more to the drug companies that came up with this BS in the first place.
Do you think I’m talking rubbish? I strongly recommend you read this book and make up your own mind.
