U.S. government to withdraw longstanding warnings about cholesterol

[rkohut]

It took them 40 years to figure this out?
And these are the people who wanted to tell you what you can and cannot eat.

While eating and drinking anything in excess can be harmful, even too much water can kill, the doctors continue to push the Statin Drugs on much of the population. Depending on the drug, the cholesterol controlling effect varies, but the side effects can be deadly.

So can the effects of not controlling your cholesterol, and extremely expensive if you don't die from your stroke or heart attack. Oh...wait...I forgot...Obamacare takes care of all that, and saves a ton of money by not providing life-saving statins in the first place.

These same Govt fools told us that Margarine was better for you than Butter, Global Warming is real, ISIS is just the JV team, and the IRS would never target anyone based on Politics...

Now this.
I guess one of their Crony Capitalist buddies came up with a new brand of Snake Oil to sell us, thus the change in alarmist ballyhoo.

Better keep taking your meds.

[Mountain Man]

I'm on the ones that keep me alive, and the government can bend over and roger itself.

Regular excercise and plenty of sleep. Everything else is junk.

Where did you go to medical school?

Many diseases and conditions are genetically passed on. Anyone who tells you that exercise and sleep are all you need is full of crap.

Of course, when you reach old age yourself you will discover that, but of course you will blame yourself for not getting enough sleep, won't you?

Incidentally, runners often suffer spontaneous heart attacks. So do other athletes.

You will also suffer health problems if you sleep too much, including death.

Eh, the idea of good sleep and exercise is that you decrease the odds that you can, not that it's a miracle cure or that there isn't some other reason why you'd get sick.
