As more knowledge of the causes of heart and vascular disease come to light, it has become evident to many heart specialists and researchers that cholesterol is not the culprit that it has been thought to be for so many years.
Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry knows this and sees the day when reducing heart and vascular disease will have little if anything to do with reducing cholesterol levels in all but about 5% of all heart disease patients. In the interim, these pharmaceutical companies are pushing hard to sell as many drugs as possible while the selling’s good.
Now they’re targeting your children and grandchildren. The pharmaceutical industry has a horrible history of hiding contrary research results and thereby murdering countless millions of patients. All drugs have side effects when taken long enough, and that’s a fact. However, if you can get a lot of children on drugs for life, just think of the profits.
These drugs are being recommended by the Nutrition Committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics. This is the same Nutrition Committee that refuses to take a hard stand on feeding our children the junk foods that are the known culprits in causing most heart and vascular disease. I think it is shameful when well meaning pediatricians are led to misinform their patient’s parents into giving these drugs.
The government needs to completely overhaul the agencies that were initially meant to protect us against these monsters of big business that care for nothing but the bottom line. We’ve turned the hen house over to the foxes, and our children and grandchildren are suffering the consequences. In this time of election, this needs to be a prominent topic.
