Are You Aware Statins Do NOT Lower CHD Mortality By Cholesterol Reduction?!
Question:
Are You Aware Statins Do NOT Lower CHD Mortality By Cholesterol Reduction?
Statins work REGARDLESS of resultant LDL level.
Statins work via
ANTI INFLAMMATORY
ANTI SPASM
ANTI CLOTTING
ANTI OXIDANT
ARTERY DILATING
IMPROVING NITIRC OXIDE LEVELS
and has NOTHING
TO DO with cholesterol reduction
RESEARCHERS IN OCT 2006 ADMITTED 'THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE LDL REDUCTION EXPLAINS THESE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS"

ARE YOU AWARE OF THIS?
Answers:
You still seem to think that statins are the only drug on the market that lowers LDL. They aren't. Zetia (Ezetimibe) is also available.
Zetia inhibits absorption of cholesterol at the brush border of the small intestine via the sterol transporter. This leads to a decreased delivery of cholesterol to the liver, reduction of hepatic cholesterol stores and an increased clearance of cholesterol from the blood; decreases total C, LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), ApoB, and triglycerides (TG) while increasing HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C).
Zetia has no pleotropic effects, but still lowers cholesterol levels and CHD mortality.
I really wish you would stop stating your opinions as though they are facts. They are contradictory to medical science and potentially harmful to the community.
P.S. Please stop cursing at me.
