Yes they lower your cholesterol.
But they might not prevent heart attack at all
Oh well, it's all for the greater good of lining the pockets of pharmaceutical companies.

A doctor told me that you can tell how well a drug works by how many side effects it has!

Which was more of a joke...but dang I have seen ads for shows were the list of side effects 75% or more of the ad!

It is like Prince said "And that headache that you moan about feels much better than the treatment would. The pill's gonna cause a side effect That'll take another pill 2 correct, and the whole thing is leaving you feeling less than good."

Lower it naturally. Popcorn without butter, oatmeal, flax seeds.

Allergic to popcorn, eat tons of oatmeal and i dont like seeds but thnx.

I grind the flax until its like a liquid oatmeal. Tastes nutty. That's too bad, I believe walnuts are also good.

It appears that way, lining their pockets. Why are we taking drugs that are defeating the purpose. Sad.

this. sadly

I think it is a cholesterol drug that the company was so greedy that it took the form of their drug that was made by the body but does the same thing just 1/2 as well and claimed the patent on that thus doubling the patent on it. So it is the same thing--just not as well.

I have heard that companies will also often 'discover' a new use for a drug and re-submit it to the FDA for approval for some new use and again double the patent time.

Grind the milled flax with some warm water in Ninja blender and they make a nutty tasting compound kind of like oatmeal.
