New study calls into question the 'high cholesterol myth' and the need for Statin drugs

S.O.T.T: The insidious strategy of the pharmaceutical industry is coming more widely into view. They have millions of dollars to do research, and what do they spend those millions of dollars on? Finding ways to convince the public they need to be taking more drugs so that those millions of dollars of research lead to billions of dollars of profit.

If anyone is still under the illusion that pharmaceutical industry research has ANYTHING to do with the promotion of human health, one need only look at the voluminous statistics that in the Western world we are getting sicker in direct proportion to the increase in the consumption of pharmaceutical drugs.

In the case of the risks of 'high cholesterol,' this is looking like one of many pieces of spaghetti that the industry has thrown against the wall that actually stuck. And boy, did they run with it. The public, it seems, was ready to buy into the 'conceivable' idea that as this substance called 'cholesterol' increases in our bodies, we are at higher risk for heart disease.

The result? The creation of cholesterol-reducing pharmaceutical drugs known as statins that have been an absolute cash cow for the industry: the cholesterol drug Lipitor has itself become the most profitable medication of all time-raking in more than $140 billion in sales.

All this without even discussing the health risks associated with statins, risks which of course are hidden by the industry. You can read more about the danger of statins here.....read more>>>...
