By Jacobus Hollewijn and Mitzi Kruslin

Debunking The Current "Love-Affair" With Statin Drugs

Cholesterol has been blamed for being the #1 cause of Heart Disease in the United States. And statin drugs have become the medication-of-choice to combat it. But now, 40 years later, cardiovascular disease is still #1, cholesterol-lowering drugs are a trillion dollar industry, and we are getting better in understanding the side-effects of these medications

Jacobus & Mitzi discuss the origins of the standard assumption and how it engrained itself into modern medicine.

Some topics addressed:

How does the body use cholesterol?
Where does cholesterol come from?
