In a stunning analysis, researchers found that the healthiest among us do as well or better on statins than the sickest.
The results found that: “Reduction of LDL cholesterol with a statin reduced the risk of major vascular events (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.77–0.81, per 1.0 mmol/L reduction), largely irrespective of age, sex, baseline LDL cholesterol or previous vascular disease, and of vascular and all–cause mortality.”
In other words, we all need statins, STAT! Everyone should take them, because they are good for everyone. Forget all those silly risk factors, and above all, forget that life could possibly be lived without taking prescription medications.
All this brings up another question: wouldn’t we be better off taking everything? Hypertension meds, anti-diabetic meds, statins, anti-depressants, etc.?
These are the answers to life’s ailments and gosh, they would all individually be good for our statistical lives. But somewhere in all that goodness is a creeping uncertainty. We just haven’t done the studies on the interactions between all these miracle pills.
The term polypharmacy applies to an ever increasing portion of the population. At five or more medications (and yes, we include your multi in that mix) no expert in the world can truly tell you what’s going on in your body over time.
I wonder if they factored that into the glowing report that statins are great for everyone.

Aww You didn’t like my first comment so much, you DELETED IT!?!
it was factual! STATINS CAUSE DIABETES, CATARACTS AND A HOST OF OTHER SIDE EFFECTS THAT ALL REQUIRE MORE EXPENSIVE TREATMENTS!!
Statins only CAUSE MORE PHYSICAL HARM!!! Anyone who says otherwise is a lying charlatan who has done ZERO INVESTIGATION!
You have to be the biggest charlatan on the internet.. you hawk POISON and claim it’s good for people.. seek mental help! you’re psychotic!
You have been posting the same LIE for years.. you have apparently never had an original thought.. you just keep recycling the same half dozen stories over and over and over..
Apparently in your mind, if you keep repeating the LIE, that makes it true!! brilliant!
