New Study: Tens of Millions of People May be Taking Statins Needlessly

According to a new study, tens of millions of people worldwide may needlessly be on cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.

Around 45% of people recommended statin drugs under today’s guidelines show no signs of cardiovascular disease in the study. This indicates that many of them may have no need for the drug, and suffer side effects for no good reason. Except, that is, to increase profits in the pharmaceutical industry.
