Your doctor says your cholesterol is too high. "What was considered acceptable cholesterol in 1960 was 300, then two forty, then 200." Every time they lower that number, another fifty million Americans need drugs. "Pfizer made a $125,000,000,000 selling Lipitor, the best selling drug in human history." For every one thousand healthy people who take statins, they prevent exactly one heart attack. The other nine hundred and ninety nine just get side effects. "Up to twenty nine percent of them develop muscle soreness so severe they can't exercise, which actually prevents heart disease." "Nine percent of them develop diabetes, which actually causes heart disease." "Eight out of nine members had financial ties to statin manufacturers. The chairman was paid by five different pharmaceutical companies." "Your brain is 25% cholesterol. Every single hormone in your body needs it." "Those with higher cholesterol lived longer, not shorter." The guidelines are written by Big Pharma's payroll. "Forty million Americans are on statins right now." It's a "$20,000,000,000 annual market" for a drug that helps "zero point one percent" of the people who take it. Share this before your doctor prescribes you a solution for a problem you don't have.
