Health Buzz: Statins and Other Health News

Reader Comments

Back to article

You say that statins may reduce the risk of dying. It's a hopeful comment, but is there any long-term evidence that statins have actually increased longevity? Niacin, which has been used for almost sixty years to effectively move all cholesterol numbers in the right directions, has been shown to increase longevity. Much is written about niacin therapy at www.cholesterolscore.com .

I recommend that anyone considering a medication to control cholesterol should, first, visit cholesterolscore.com and do some reading.
