[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2018167, member: 468714"] [I]Like any medication there is a risk of death[/I]. Before you are prescribed a statin your GP is ethically bound to mention all the possible side-effects to you (see if his list and yours tally up)!! And he has to be able to justify that all the studies done on statins prove that statins are a safe and effective choice for you. The fact that the companies making statins will not least their research data to independent scientists to evaluate is most worrying - do we trust Big Pharma who is interested in profits over people? We are all guinea pigs to them !! Their studies and others about saturated fat, cholesterol and heart disease connection have been debunked as showing bias and flawed statistics. Does your GP have the statistical nous to really know whether statins are safe and effective for what they are advertised for? [/QUOTE]
