Wow, nice work "doctors"! It's been proven that diet does not lower the cholesterol to the "right" levels so why bother to put them through diet? Just to make sure the statins are more justifiable when the diet will most likely fail? You will tell the parents "Well, we tried with diet, it didn't work, so we HAVE to use statins now". What is the right level of cholesterol? It is not the same for different people. How long will the drug companies, doctors, politicians continue to milk the ready-to-believe anything lazy-to-think people? Well that's easy, for as long as they refuse to critically think and use at least some of their brain cells, that alone would help them avoid brain aging. drug companies <-- ($$$) lazy-to-think people drug companies ($$$) <-- lazy-to-think people doctors (physicians) <-- ($$$) lazy-to-think people doctors (physicians) ($$$) <-- lazy-to-think people politicians <-- ($$$)+votes lazy-to-think people politicians ($$$)+votes <-- lazy-to-think people And the politicians will continue to enact legislation that helps the drug companies, again, at the expense of the people. Nice vicious circle! Why should we start giving statins to children so "late" in their life when they are 8 ? "Good" things are being done already prescribing anti depressants to younger children. In about 2 years or 5 from now, they'll lower the age to 5 or less, hey why not start giving them statins in the mother's milk right after they are born? And don't forget to remove all the fat from the mother's milk to "decrease" the child's chance to develop coronary disease around 50! The dilemma is: who is worst, a corrupt politician or a biased-in-love-with-his/her-own-theory scientist??? Who should a Texan shoot if he would have a single bullet? So here we are, finally the kids are targeted as statins, possibly lifelong, customers.
