about the bad statin effects and the absolution of saturated fat

[Guest guest]

Forwarding.................

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

from a trial was published 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_ () is here and you

can read more about it in _NY Times_ () . 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_ () .

Glyn and Luca are members of THINCS.

Recently our member Duane Graveline was interviewed about statin side

effects on television. Both parts of the intrview are available from _this

website_ (http://ssptv.com/show.php?show_id=7)

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

report_ () about statin side effects.

But I have good news also. 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_ () .

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_ () .

Finally, an interview with me is available _here_
