Statin use 'may benefit healthy'
The study of 17,800 men and women with normal cholesterol levels found a new statin drug cut deaths from heart attacks and strokes. Professor Peter Sever, the professor of pharmacology at Imperial College, explains what the study found.
As Peter comments it was a free advert for the drug companies.
It needs rebuttal. Peter and Dr Briffa do a good job.
Cholesterol, heart attacks and JUPITER
Statins reduce cardiovascular disease in health people, and why this study is a poke in the eye for the cholesterol hypothesis
