"We consider the CHOLESTEROL LEVEL Of 350 Perfectly Fine."
~Barbara O'Neill
"Now, doctors want you DOWN to 150"...every time the numbers are lowered, MILLIONS More people 'need' drugs.
That's NOT health care, that's greedy MARKETING. Statins are a $22 BILLION dollar industry.
The hypothesis that high total cholesterol causes CVD was introduced in the 1960s by the authors of the Framingham Heart Study.
However, in their 30-year follow-up study published in 1987, the authors reported that ‘For each 1 mg/dl drop in total cholesterol per year, there was an 11% increase in coronary & total mortality’.
Statins cause a litany of side effects that will cause sickness & a low quality of life. Statins do not lower Cardiovascular Risk or Disease, Stroke, Heart Attack or Mortality. Statins cause more death.
