Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Your Brain on Statins By James LaValle, R.Ph, ND, CCN I was recently made aware of huge news on statin drugs from the labs at Iowa StateUniversity, where a researcher has confirmed something I have long suspected regarding cholesterol-lowering drugs — that they could seriously harm brain health. The concern comes from simply knowing that brain cells, like liver cells, also manufacture cholesterol. Brain cells need cholesterol for a variety of functions. For instance, cholesterol is a primary component of the protective nerve coating called myelin. If your brain cells didn’t need cholesterol, they wouldn’t make it. http://www.totalhealthbreakthroughs.com/2009/05/getting-to-the-truth-about-statins/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
