One can see a trend here now in US....
Pfizer spent mega bucks to get FDA approval to say : Lipitor prevents heart attacks. In reality it is a very small number prevented.
But the Crestor commercials specifically do NOT mention heart attacks....they say "clogged arteries". This is because THEY did a study on preventing stroke only.... small numbers there too.
Two non drug substances have been tested against statins for reducing epithelial inflammation in arteries and found equal:
Vit C and
curcumin (an improved enhance absorption type)
So statins are not unique... and are quite toxic in return! They damage mitochondria in cells, it has been learned.
