Looks like the powers that be (Big Pharma et al) are feeling the pinch in their bottom lines...

I love the Mahatma Gandhi quote. It sums this article up perfectly.

Every article I read where comments are available just reconfirms how bad statins can be for you. People nearly dying taking them. Added a couple of examples.

They had hardly any time to respond! For a reason. Sorry state of affairs.

Funnily enough, I chose today to stop taking statins. I first stopped after getting my T2 under control with LCHF, then went back on a low dose after my cholesterol went through the roof (over 10) - I am a high responder.
But after 18 months or so, I eventually persuaded my wife that, with my age, it just doesn't make sense. I will continue to monitor my calcium score, which is very low.
So I was very surprised when I read Zoe's blog this morning. I am persuaded by rational argument, not frenzied attacks. It just shows how desperate they are.

I wish you well and welcome to the club of leavers.

Exactly my feelings.

But most daily mail readers are unlikely to do the heavy duty reading I just did to establish just how bad the article was (and almost was even more inaccurate) and are likely to believe it in varying degrees and gobble an extra statin pill tonight. I guess it’ll balance the 2013’s temporary increased cessation of statins due to the anti statin coverage that occurred then.

The comments in the comments section for the article suggests people are quite skeptical of statins.

This character assassination going on, backed by the usual tactic of trying to instill fear into the public may well blow up in their faces. This is probably just the start of it though.

The Daily Mail! Who would even want to read that rubbish. I know from personal experience they just want to sensationalise and make money. If only more people could see through this. British Airways have already stopped loading this paper on board. Shame on Waitrose for offering it free.

I prefer reading the Daily Mail to a newspaper:)
