There is a thread here recently on MS about Drug Advertising on TV...

Statins are typically done that way. There were even Newsweek and Time articles (not ads) back when Pravachol and Zocor went generic... saying statins are so safe, we should have them in our drinking water! Just a year or so ago, Big Pharma tried to get children on statins! That was all over CNN.

Now that we have almost eliminated TRANS FATS, the heart attack and stroke risks will go down. Trans fats came in the late 30's as Crisco...and ended up in margarine during WWII to save butter. They were very toxic and destroyed cardiovascular health and the health of developing fetus' brains.
