Research: Statins Increase Cancer and Memory Loss Risk (Video)
(N.Morgan) Recent studies have shown that heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. It has been established that more than 610,000 Americans die from heart disease each year.
High cholesterol levels are one of the main causes of developing cardiovascular disease.
So many people start taking cholesterol-lowering medications in order to lower their risk of heart disease.
Recently it has been proven that the most popular cholesterol-lowering medications, known as statins, are ineffective in reducing cholesterol levels and have numerous side effects such as cancer and memory loss.
What Are Statins?
Statins are group of drugs which can lower the LDL cholesterol levels.
Study Confirms:
In a recent study published in the Vascular Health and Risk Management, it was found that this group of medications are extremely inadequate in lowering cholesterol levels in people who suffer from heart disease. Researchers also discovered that statins reduced cholesterol levels in only 18% of the patients, while they were ineffective in 80% of the patients.
It has also been proven that these medications have many side effects, such as:
Rash
Constipation
Diarrhea
Drowsiness
Memory loss
High blood sugar
Increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes
Experts added that statins are related to myositis and rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis can lead to kidney damage, kidney failure, and even death.
An assortment of different studies have found a link between statins and a higher risk of cancer. A more recent study published in the journal Current Oncology, discovered that cholesterol-lowering drugs increase the risk of cancer in the elderly and in people with prostate or breast cancer. Also, researchers found that statins caused tumor progression in people with bladder cancer.
Note: Statins stimulate the production of T cells in the body (white blood cells that fight off infection) which weakens other immune responses in the body, making it more vulnerable to developing cancer.
Cholesterol and the Body
It has been the general consensus that cholesterol is the major reason for blood clogging which leads to heart disease. However, it turns out that this is a misconception, according to Dr. Beverly Teter, a renowned lipid biochemist at the University of Maryland. She says that scientists have mistakenly blamed cholesterol for heart disease simply because they found high levels of LDL in a damaged blood vessel. Her theory is that cholesterol, in fact, is put there to fix a problem that was caused by inflammation.
Dr. Beverly Teter said:
“It’s the inflammation in the vessels that start the lesion. The body then sends the cholesterol like a scab to cover over it to protect the blood system and the vessel wall from further damage.”
Her recommendation is to consume foods that are rich in anti-inflammatory properties, rather than low in fat. The foods high in omega-3 fatty acids and natural saturated fats. Also, she suggests avoiding foods which contain inflammation-causing trans-fats.
Foods that are high in inflammation-busting properties include:
Wild salmon
Edamame
Eggs
Pecans
Hickory nuts
Flaxseed oil
Walnuts
Make sure to eat all of the foods mentioned above, while avoiding these inflammation-causing ones such as:
Deep-fried foods
Pie crust
Non-dairy creamer
Crackers
Margarine
Cake frosting
The best way to prevent inflammation is to avoid deep fried or heavily processed foods. These foods trigger inflammation and increase the cholesterol levels, a combination that certainly leads to heart disease.

Hello Angle#3(Of-Ful Prelim),
Charlie here. Yes, that report showed negligible benefits at ENORMOUS cost. Bottom line to me? TRASH your statins. Instead go back to what grandma and grandpa ate. The scientist and doctors targeted the wrong cause of the disease.
But, of course. They are doctors not diet experts (which is rarely taught at in medical schools). WE BEEN SCAMMED! Even most medical courses are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, I am told, and even their studies. But nobody shouts conflict of interest.
Signed,
Charlie (the only exception of course, is to be DOUGHNUTS! By Charlie who sponsored this message)
I’ve tried about 5 different brands of statins. Horrible drug. They caused dizzyness, muscle aches, brain function problems, sex dysfunction, etc. My Dr. finally said to stop taking statins. All my relatives had high cholesterol and all lived into their late 80s.
Worked at A&E and its generally known that statin changes the matrix of your tendons, making you more prone to injuries. If on statins avoid mountaineering. A problem that is worse for middle-aged men. How can anyone stay fit by injuring their tendons?
Well what I would say is show me a study on statins and tendon injuries,we can all make claims but we have to back them up ..
Statin & tendons in Google search = 1/3 million hits
