Alert: Statins Linked to Deadly Disease

If Big Pharma had its way, we’d be taking cholesterol-lowering statins for everything.
They’ve tried to push these drugs for cancer… Alzheimer’s… even acne.
They don’t care about the long-term health effects of statins… as long as the cash keeps rolling in.
Case in point?
Research has just linked statins to a potentially deadly disease.
And it wasn’t the first time.
Statins (sold under brand names like Lipitor, Mevacor, Crestor, and Zocor) have long been on my list of drugs you should never take.
Research has shown that statins don’t save lives. And I’ve long been concerned that they lower levels of CoQ10, a powerful antioxidant that is especially important to your heart.
Plus, statins come with potentially serious side effects, like muscle aches, muscle weakness, problems sleeping, headaches, and an annoying cough.
And now, a four-year study published in the journal Diabetes Metabolism Research and Reviews, finds that statins more than double your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.
Anyone taking statins for more than two years triples their risk of diabetes.
And that’s a problem… because, let’s face it, mainstream doctors intend for you to be on statins for life.
Researchers at the Ohio State University combed through thousands of health records to discover the relationship between statin use and diabetes.
Turns out that statins appear to cause glucose metabolism shift that could lead straight to diabetes.
This isn’t the first study linking statins to diabetes. In fact, the research is piling up fast.
And let me tell you — diabetes is MUCH more serious than the elevated cholesterol statins are being used to treat.
If you’re taking statins right now, make an appointment to talk to your doctor.
It may be time to quit these meds for good.
