Default Statins

Excellent interview on Sky News where a Senior Cardiologist has just stated that prescribing Statins has been a “public health disaster”.

Short summary

They have been used for two to three decades now but has failed to curb the incidence of heart disease - in fact it is increasing.

He stated that low cholesterol, low fat foods now have higher levels of sugar and this has actually driven up heart disease rates.

Studies show that the actual “benefit” of Statins in real terms is a life span increase of just 4 days!!!! - and he states that a lot of the original research was pharmaceutical industry based where these minor improvements to live span were wrapped up in statistics to make out the results were far mor impressive than they really were.

A lot of patients stop taking them due to side effects.

He said the sides effects of statins have not been fully disclosed. Industry sponsored clinical trials make out that side effects are rare - but this Cardiologist is saying that in his experience the side effects are so bad that half the patients Rx’d statins stop taking them after two years due to side effects.

“The cholesterol theory itself is fatally flawed”

So - we now have leading health professionals calling for a parliamentary inquiry into the use of statins.

Interesting!!
