Following the links you find that although a slight reduction in (I mean slight!!!) heart disease may in some instances reduce heart attacks, it increases strokes, cancer, alzheimers, memory loss etc etc. The drug companies take in between 20 and 30 billion bucks from the statin type drugs. They use the government, medical profession and the media to try to increase that to 40 billion a year. That will then funnel the 400 billion passed by congress for senior drug benefits over ten years totally into their coffers for one drug alone. Since the brain is about 2/3 cholesterol, keeping the level below normal for a few years causes the brain to short out since the insulation between nerves are depleted. It is ironic that Alzheimer's has only been around about 50 years and that is about the time Doctors started pressuring patients to get their cholesterol level to lower than normal. Even a piano tuner can see the relation. Look for an increase in Alzheimer's since they drug companies have influenced a government panel that has now recommended and even lower level. Six of the nine panelists have financial ties to the drug companies. I'm being pressured to take these drugs by the VA even though my levels are within their own guidelines. I won't take them. That puts me on their list as a UOB (uncooperative old bastard) Sorry for the OT. I can't fight a multibillion drug scam fraud, but I can let my friends know about it. The best Carl Meyer Ptg assoc Santa Clara, Ca. I'm being pressured by the VA to take statin drugs even though my cholesterol is normal and the ratio is within their own guidelines. Go figure. Follow the money
