On this week’s podcast, we continue our discussion on the cholesterol lowering medication called statins. In part 1, we discussed the history of the low fat/low cholesterol dietary recommendations, how those recommendations were used to prop up the use of statins, and why that has been devastating to the health of the entire nation. In part 2, we discuss the literal mechanism of action of statin medication and why lowering LDL is a bad idea. In part 3, we discuss the dirty tricks used by the pharmaceutical industry that make statin medication appear more beneficial than they actually are.

In part 4 we finally start to outline some of the major side effects caused by statins. These supposed cure all pills are riddled with numerous debilitating side effects and one of the most commonly seen is new onset diabetes. Do you know what one of the major drivers of heart disease is? Yep, diabetes! 80% of diabetics die from heart disease! So how can giving a drug that increases insulin resistance and your odds of developing diabetes be prescribed under the guise of heart health? Makes no sense. 

To learn more about how statin medications increase your odds of developing diabetes, listen to this week's podcast.
