Heart Breakthrough with Statins? Don't Bet on It

Good article, including,
The drug companies may have figured that since tinkering with cholesterol isn't really saving any lives, let's expand our market by trumpeting the long-known fact that these drugs lower inflammation -- at least as indicated by a test called CRP (C-reactive protein). Somehow magically the very same drugs will start doing what they never did from the beginning -- which is reduce death from heart disease.

There's more bad news. The drug study [Jupiter] found an increased risk of diabetes. Plus the study was stopped prematurely -- perhaps so they wouldn't find all the other side effects that could have ensued with another two years added to the study.

And don't forget, your brain needs cholesterol -- so let's reduce that in more and more people so we can increase our risk of Alzheimer's. Not surprisingly, memory problems are commonly found in statin users. Almost forgot, statins also increase the risk of breast cancer.

So, where is elsewhere? According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, vitamin C and vitamin E individually reduce CRP by over 30 percent each. That's almost as much as Crestor alone -- without the side effects.
