[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1615257, member: 245335"] It's interesting that the BMJ and The Lancet are at war over statins. Professor Rory Collins who has been the greatest advocate of statins, will not share the research data that he seems to be the custodian of, even tried tried to get the BMJ to withdraw an article because it spoke of side effects. Independent research was carried and surprise, surprise, they confirmed the BMJ's report the article stayed. The BMJ also did a straw poll, regardless of new guidelines and 60% of those who replied said they would not prescribe statins for themselves or a relative. I mentioned this to my GP and she just grinned and said "I can think of one of my relatives". I assume she didn't like the relative. Might be the daily fail, but interesting.
