There is now a wave of evidence about the risks of statins, which reduce the cholesterol needed for good health. Here is another research paper raising concerns. Remember L-arginine does everything that statins are proclaimed to do (e.g. Boger et al, Circulation, 96 (1997), 1282-1290) and much more besides without adverse side-effects and much more cheaply too.
It is now 100 years since the ill-fated Dardanelles expedition. The grandfather of our Jewels was there and in tribute to the centenary we are proud to publish his fascinating record of 'lions being led by donkeys'.
Yet another leading expert has come out against the use of statin drugs. The "Times" reports experts as advising that Rosuvastin should only br prescribed "for very good reason". Don't waste money on statins, but, instead, please consider antioxidants.
Good news in the war over cholesterol. Even the USA has now realized officially that cholesterol rich foods, such as eggs and butter, are not bad for us.
