I got a family doctor and I do whatever he tells me to do.

Subject: [sparkscoffee] The great cholesterol con finally unravels
Blood cholesterol is one of the body's mechanisms for fighting inflammation.
While it can be an indication of heart disease, it is not the cause. New study
finds that statin drugs used by doctors to lower blood cholesterol actually
cause more harm than good and lead to higher deaths from heart disease. It
explains why many people with very high blood cholesterol never get heart
disease and why heart disease is the number 1 killer in America, i.e., it's not
the disease that's killing them, it's the cure.
Don't expect doctors to stop from prescribing statin drugs or Americans from
taking them. Death is already listed as one of the known side effects of statin
drugs, as it is with many other prescription drugs, but this doesn't stop
Americans from taking them.
A whopping 3 out of 5 of all Americans take at least one prescription drug.
The U.S. has 5% of the world's population but consumes 75% of all prescription
drugs.
The U.S. has the highest healthcare costs of any country and the poorest health
of any developed country.
Unfortunately there is no cure for stupid and propaganda works even on highly
intelligent people.
