The Cancer-Causing Mistake 1 in 4 People Over 45 Make

A recent study found that use of any statin drug,
in any amount, was associated with a significantly increased risk for
prostate cancer
-
Findings from previous studies investigating the
statin-cancer link have been mixed, but a number of studies over the
past 15 years have raised warnings over such a potential link
-
Current cholesterol guidelines, which recommend
LDL levels of less than 100 or even less than 70 for patients at very
high risk of heart disease, are dangerously low, and are likely
doing far more harm than good
-
While reducing your risk of heart disease is the
primary motivation for prescribing statins, these drugs can actually increase
your risk of heart disease because they deplete your body of CoQ10,
which can lead to heart failure. If you’re on statin drug therapy, you
must also take a CoQ10 or ubiquinol supplement to stave off irreparable
mitochondrial damage
-
Statin drugs do not modulate LDL particle
size, and particle size is the factor that can make LDL “bad” in the
first place. Small LDL particles get easily stuck and cause chronic
inflammation, which raises your risk of heart disease, while large,
buoyant LDL particles do not have such adverse effects. Particle size
can only be modulated through dietary intervention
