@craig_mccloskey: The story about our current cholesterol guidelines is pretty insane… Nearly 50 million Americans take a statin on a daily basis, making them the most prescribed class of drug in America, bringing in $20 billion annually 💰 Over the past two decades, the cholesterol threshold for what is considered to be “high cholesterol” has substantially dropped… time and time again. These drops in cholesterol thresholds qualify millions more Americans to be eligible for statins. And the worst part is, the panel members who create these guidelines receive money from statin drug companies, the drug companies fund and design the studies the panel members review, and your primary care physician receives financial kickbacks to prescribe you statins. And the truth about it is, that you more than likely don’t need a statin at all. What you need is a little movement and some better nutrition 🤷🏼‍♂️ Especially considering that statins have a long list of negative side effects that exercise and nutrition don’t have. #cholesterol #statins #bigpharma #lowcholesterol #cholesterolfree
