Researchers reviewed data on close to 70,000 people and found out that there was no link between
what main stream medicine calls "bad cholesterol" and the death of people over the age of 60 due to cardiovascular disease.
In fact the study which was published in The BMJ open journal showed that 92% of those with high cholesterol lived longer !!
One of the authors of the study, Dr Malcolm Kendrick stated:
“What we found in our detailed systematic review was that older people with high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels, the so-called “bad” cholesterol, lived longer and had less heart disease.”
Another researcher from the study, Professor Sherif Sultan stated:
“Lowering cholesterol with medications for primary cardiovascular prevention in those aged over 60 is a total waste of time and resources, whereas altering your lifestyle is the single most important way to achieve a good quality of life”
Dr Uffe Ravnskov who was the lead author said "there was no reason to lower high-LDL-cholesterol"
* This is what I have been saying for nearly a decade. Not only are statin drugs worthless, they are very dangerous medications that can destroy the liver, nervous system, muscles, immune system, as well as every cell in your body.
