U r the one who should STFU and try not to be a quack Dr. Statins r still widely prescribed in this day and age and u r Wrongly demonising it to the detriment of readers here who may need it.
I wouldn't bring myself down to arguing with u at yr level if not for the fact that u r misguiding people.
Wonder who's the one who is really doing MORE misguiding there
- can't even get the FACTS on Eggs - Cholesterol & such right .... sighssssssss
I have quoted many articles etc even from known cardiologists etc on that WRONG wide use of Statins - with proper evidence & reasoning etc etc etc
I'm simply NOT demonising statins for fun without any basis
Even that bad medical practice (re statins) has been given a European Parliament hearing recently by Dr Aseem Malhotra & team Killing For Profit
WHO in fact are the real murderers doing real harm here ???

STATINS ARE POISON!!!!!!! After being on Crestor for a year, had major joint pain and massive muscle weakness. Told my cardiologist “I would rather die” and put them in the garbage. BTW, I have a pacemaker and had bypass surgery in 2014.
Starting in 2015, I had stopped the statin, and went HIGH FAT and LOW CARB, and have NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.
Dr Malhotra, you are spot on, sugar and carbs are the real problem. I am N 1, I ate low fat high carb all my life, 0 family history of heart disease and exercising religiously. I had a quintuple bypass and still have an ejection fraction of 20. The dietary guideline are wrong and big pharma are *******S. They don’t care about health but profits. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

Actually the percentage of diabetes caused by statins is not 1%, you don't get off that easily. It's 50% and 50% of those will develop Alzheimers. So say your opposition's studies.

Thank you for getting this info out there. I work in the medical field. Patients want a pill to solve the problems that poor diet and lifestyle actions cause. Until patients wake up and start researching their own health and taking part in their solutions, our healthcare system is doomed. I have done the Keto diet since January, and lost 38 pounds and stopped taking all prescriptions.

Lots To Learn

Very grateful to Dr A.M. for speaking out, esp. at 27 minutes in. Big Pharma can't go after him the way the would against most of his colleagues.

Some highlights & timestamps:
"Half of what you learn in medical school will be shown to be either dead wrong or out of date within 5 years of your graduation; the trouble is that nobody can tell you which half. The most important thing to learn is how to learn on your own" - David Sackett, one of the fathers of Evidence-Based Medicine.
"As a doctor for 17 years I have slowly and reluctantly come to the conclusion that
as it stands now we have a complete healthcare system failure and an epidemic of misinformed doctors and misinformed and harmed patients" - Aseem Malhotra 7:30.
$864 million dollars per year could be saved by doctors having one conversation with patients prior to placing stents - which is a largely unnecessary & unhelpful treatment 13:30
Misleading health statistics: ~16:00. Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) vs Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR), and number needed to treat (NNT).
Statins are covered next.
Starts covering system failure, misconduct, regulation, collusion for financial gain at 31:10. At 34:00 an example for Beta Blockers is given where fictitious data published resulted in ESC guidelines increasing patient mortality by 27% resulting in 800,000 excess deaths.
34:55: Talks about
Peter C. Gøtzsche, co-founder of the Cochrane collaboration, regarding major pharma companies being found guilty for fraud, particularly in the US. Between 2009-2014 total of $14 billion worth of fines for illegal marketing and hiding data and harms which involved the majority of top 10 pharma companies, and there's no incentive for them to stop.
35:55 Covers innovation. Between 2000-2008 of 667 new drugs approved by FDA only 11% found to be innovative. Others copies. At great cost and no extra benefit.
Cites multiples of these excellent quotes/links:

Next covers obesity, diabetes, diet. At 49:20 starts covering CICO notions pushed by the soft drink industry. Then regulation & food industry resistance. Says obesity epidemic is due to diet, not exercise. Largely blames added sugar in processed food. "Ultra processed food constitutes half of UK diet". "Lifestyle changes are more powerful than any drug at treating heart disease, come without side effects, and need to be at the forefront of treating chronic disease".
1:13:08 Switches speaker to
Sir Richard Thompson, personal physician to the queen and former president of royal college of physicians.
1:26:50 Switch to
Professor Hanno Pijl, internist, endocrinologist, and professor of Diabetology at Leiden University. Promotes lifestyle changes instead of drugs for chronic, lifestyle-related diseases such as colon cancer, stroke, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes.
1:32:00 Switch to
Sarah Macklin, journalist & nutritionist. Mentions outdated guidelines taught in university.
1:42:10 Begins Q&A.
