[Guest guest]

I checked the links and they all work. blessings, Shan

 

 

Sorry, the links in the letter I sent to you earlier today were

non-functioning. Here it comes once again, hopefully the links are OK this

time:

In the November 23 issue of New England Journal of Medicine the results

were npublished from a trial where statin treatment was combined with either

niacin or ezetimib. Although cholesterol was lowered more in the latter

group, significantly more got a heart attack. The _abstract_

(http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/abstract/361/22/2113) is here and you can

read more

about it in _NY Times_

(http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/16/health/research/16heart.html) . Please note

also that while reports from statin trials with an

allegedly positive outcome always are freely available, you have to pay for

reading this one.

A further warning against cholesterol-lowering treatment comes from Glyn

Wainwright, Luca Mascitelli and Mark R. Goldstein. You can read their paper

_here_ (http://www.lizscript.co.uk/Glyn/AMS01.pdf) . (Glyn and Luca are

members of THINCS.)

Recently our member Duane Graveline was interviewed about statin side

effects on television. Both parts are available from _this website._

Jeff Cable, another of our members, have recently published _a scary

report_ (http://www.joimr.org/JOIMR_Vol7_No1_Dec2009.pdf) about statin side

effects.

Finally a positive message. Those of you who have followed our work

already know that saturated fat isn´t a menace to human health. Recently WHO

and

FAO published a new report, _Fats and Fatty Acids in Human Nutrition_

(http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Aktion=Ausgabe & Ausgabe=250361\

& P

roduktNr=223977) . Now, finally, their experts have come up with the same

conclusion. Go to pages 191 and 239. However, they haven´t changed their

guidelines! You can read more about that paper _here_
