Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

And...

Same for Niacin, which in large doses increases HDL but to little or no clinical benefit, Folate along with vitamins B6 and B12 which can lower homocysteine levels, a marker for inflamation, but NOT reduce the inflammation which causes elevated homocysteine levels in the first plase, and so it goes.

Don't get me started on c-reactive protein and the various ways of 'reducing' it.

Truth be told, we don't really know why Atorvastatin (Lipitor) seems to have outcomes superior to other statins as a search of the literature seems to suggest. Except, of course, if just lowering cholesterol is NOT the end point we should be looking at. ;-)


First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
