Lightbulb New studies reveal risks for RX Niacin therapy:

This is a Yahoo article and will probably have a short life online:

http://news.yahoo.com/studies-see-ri...211100712.html

This NYTimes article goes into more depth:
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/0...ype=blogs&_r=0

If you are taking RX Niacin or OTC high dose niacin, talk to your doctor about this information and do not discontinue your therapy without medical advice.

It seems to be making the rounds...

Studies see new risks for cholesterol drug niacin

I want to dig into this further when I have the time, but from the tone of both articles, they sound like the studies were designed & conducted by the evil statin cabal...
