Diabetes and Coronary Heart Disease

[Soundgen]

7 million Britons are taking statins to lower cholesterol. But they’re seriously risking their health by ignoring this single, critical fact . . .

Why don’t doctors, surgeons, hospitals, drug companies - or anyone else in the mainstream medical industry - tell you the shocking truth about cholesterol?

And why wouldn’t they want you to know that cholesterol- lowering statin drugs come with a huge list of side-effects – including heart failure?

Or that 75% of folks who have heart attacks actually have NORMAL levels of cholesterol anyway?

Simple: Because when you don’t take their drugs . . . or when you prevent disease or heal yourself naturally . . . . they don’t make a red cent!

Instead, they’ve made cholesterol the villain of the piece – in order to fuel a multi-billion pound anti-cholesterol industry...

... when, in fact, cholesterol is the good guy - not the villain – because it’s essential for good heart health!

If you’re worried about your cholesterol levels, find out the real truth about cholesterol here:

But perhaps even more important than this, they don’t tell you that statins seriously deplete your body of CoQ10.

CoQ10 is the vital heart nutrient that naturally PREVENTS heart attacks and strokes by stopping inflammation in your arteries, lowering blood pressure and rejuvenating heart cells.

One in three people over the age of 45 in the UK currently take statins – that’s a staggering 7 million people. It costs the National Health Service £450 million per year to fulfill these prescriptions...which goes straight into the pockets of the drug companies and their consultants in the medical establishment.

But all these people – and you may be one of them – are putting themselves at risk.

Here’s just one example...

By blocking the production of cholesterol in the liver, statins also block the production of Coenzyme-Q10 (CoQ10). A Columbia University study found that CoQ10 levels were reduced by HALF after only 30 days of statin treatments.

People who take statins need to know this, because CoQ10 is vital for producing muscular energy. And a lack of this nutrient can cause the heart (which is a muscle) to function improperly, resulting in heart failure.

Interesting take on on Statins and heart attacks .

I read that too. I'm not on statins, and I take a supplement of CoQ10.

A New study emphasises the importance of Vitamin D for diabetics and heart disease

These results identify reduced vitamin D receptor signaling as a potential mechanism underlying increased foam cell formation and accelerated cardiovascular disease in diabetic subjects

So get some sunshine and eat your fish or liver !

I thought that small molecule LDL was one of the culprits and sincemost T2s have the features of Metabolic syndrome,and high levels of SLDL ae part of it, ther might be a link there.
I do worry that a link is often interpreted as "cause and effect"

Metabolic Syndrome has been around for some time now. Nothing new, it's a combination of hypertension, increased visceral fat, high triglycerides, low HDL, Cholesterol, often obesity, and high uric acid levels. It is often associated with Heart Attacks and co-incidentally Diabetes.

Here's a useful link which might help you get your head round Type 1.5

Are you saying that if you already have pre existing heart defects, you are more likely in the short term to become a Diabetic?

A wise man says nothing because he knows too much; a learned man talks all the time because his cup is empty and he wants to fill it, but a quiet man listens, waits and watches because he knows what is coming

High insuln levels puts you at 5 times the risk for CHD. High cholesterol levels puts you at only 2 times the risk. Having both high tryglicerides, low HDL, and high insulin puts you at 16 times the risk. That would explain why now about 80% of diabeteics die of heart attack. Not to sound dreary, but it's now estimated that about 50% of the people in the US born after year 2,000 will develop type II diabetes. We don't need bombs to lower the population, just send Starbucks....

4 months ago (very very sadly) my husband - aged 41yrs had a hypo that caused a fit at 6:22am blood sugars 3.1, he fell to his death, his heart packed in!!! ..... Coroners report shoes that his arteries were 88% clogged in places, this i'm sure is due to poor diabetes control! That said, there is an element of lack of awareness by the professionals in the medical society!!!! .............please please please look after your blood control and insist upon YOUR SPECIALIST DIABETES NURSE GETTING YOU SCANNED FOR DAMAGE TO YOUR HEART|!!!! 55% fatalities in diabetes are caused by heart disease!!! be very aware!!!!
