Research on Statin Drugs

Statins and Children

Long-Term Follow-Up of Statin Treatment in a Cohort of Children with Familial Hypercholesterolemia: Efficacy and Tolerability <--- Notice they don't actually study whether the children had decreased heart disease, cancer, stroke, etc. later in life. They ONLY studied whether statins reduced their cholesterol and whether that influenced short term indicators. However, reduced cholesterol levels over a lifetime could have serious long term consequences.

Statins and Muscle Problems

• Molecular mechanisms of statin-induced myotoxicity
• Statin-Associated Myopathy
• Effect of Coenzyme Q10 on Myopathic Symptoms in Patients Treated With Statins
• Statin-Associated Myopathy with Normal Creatine Kinase Levels"...we present evidence that suggest that simvastatin can be toxic in cardiomyocytes". Translation- Simvastatin KILLS heart muscle cells! Seriously, why are they prescribing these drugs? 

Statins and Diabetes

Risk of Incident Diabetes With Intensive-Dose Compared With Moderate-Dose Statin Therapy<--- Statins INCREASE the risk of diabetes! What kind of trade off is that?

Statins Cause Heart Problems

Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure:pharmacological mechanisms
