Statins May Reduce The Risk Of Cancer?
Of all the ridiculous claims made so far on the so-called benefits of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, the most laughable one must be that these drugs can prevent cancer.

“Take Statin Drugs Or Die…?”
“Having read many of your articles on statin drugs I have stopped taking mine and I can definitely say it’s the best thing I have done after I have been taken them for years. It’s only been a week and I have no kidney pain and my tremors a lot less!” That comment was recently […]
RED ALERT: Statin Drugs Speed Up The Ageing Process
Here’s something you won’t see in mainstream newspapers: “Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs make regular users become older faster, leaving them open to long-term mental and physical decline, according to disturbing new research.” If you are a regular reader of the Daily Health and The Cholesterol Truth, this should come as no surprise, because all you need […]

A recent study, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, compared new cholesterol-lowering statin drug users with people taking non-statin cholesterol drugs, and those taking no drugs at all. The results showed patients taking statins reported memory loss and memory problems within as little as 30-days from starting their medication, compared to non-users. Yet, despite […]
Statin Drugs Increase Your Risk Of Developing Diabetes By 87%
Recently, I told you about how cholesterol-lowering statins can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This risk is so alarming that even the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added a warning about it on all statin drug labels, back in 2012. However, as study after study produces alarming results and dire warnings […]
When Are We Going To See The Back Of Statin Drugs?
There is no doubt in my mind that the benefits of statin drugs have always been questionable.
