Most cholesterol doesn't come from foods - it's made by the body itself! Statins work by interfering with the body's ability to manufacture cholesterol. Statins: Miracle or Mistake? explains both the pro and con sides of this incredible drug, using interviews with statin researchers and prescribers and presenting the findings in clear, jargon-free language. Learn how to watch for warning signs if you are using statins. Discover how statins are a huge business for both drug companies and anti-statin forces. This guide talks with people on all sides of the statin issue, finding out what they believe and why - and how they stand to benefit. Most important, Statins: Miracle or Mistake? tells readers what to ask their own healthcare practitioners. It's time for nonprofessionals to learn how to manage these drugs. This important guide shows what to do - and not do.
