As is the case with so many of the most popular prescription drugs out there, sometimes managing one condition causes another one to develop. And, some of these side-effect conditions can be very dangerous.
And so it is with type two diabetes, and its relationship with one of the most popular and widely prescribed drugs on the market today.
In a recent study published in the journal, BMJ, statin drugs have been proven to cause type two diabetes in many patients who take the medications.
[adrotate group=”5″]The Canadian study looked at over 471,000 patients to uncover the actual seriousness of the diabetes link, because data on this particular side effect is often pretty scarce.
This is one more link in a body of studies proving this serious side effect of Statins. And it’s especially scary as Statin prescriptions are on the rise.
Recent analyses published in Forbes showed that in 2007 more than 200 million prescriptions were written for statin drugs. By 2010, it had jumped to 4 billion. That is some boon for the business of selling pharmaceuticals.
Studies published in Finland, and even at the Harvard School of Public Health maintain that it’s an “acceptable risk,” based upon the benefits. However, studies done at those very universities also have shown that statin drugs do nothing to reduce risk of a heart attack for those with high cholesterol.
So the controversy around cholesterol and cholesterol drugs continues. One thing, however, that everyone agrees on is that if you want to lower cholesterol, the best way to do it is with diet and lifestyle changes.

That is disgraceful – from 200 million to 4 billion prescriptions! It’s pretty obvious Big Pharma is in the business of making money – seriously big money and often at taxpayers’ expense as governments ‘help’ their people.
Doctors should be more responsible in promoting health PRESCRIPTION DRUGS are not the ANSWER to our HEALTH PROBLEMS.
FOOD MATTERS, GOD gave us NATURAL ORGANIC FOODS.
These people in the Pharmaceutical con are not so much interested in money but are interested in destroying our individual bloodlines, black, white, yellow or pink it doesn’t matter. The more you mix the bloodlines the weaker the line becomes. I have nothing against any other colored person but I do want to preserve our color, our individuality.
The thing that makes us what we are. Can you just imagine what we will look like all the same color? But this is what these people want us to be. Dumb useless individuals that they can push around to do anything they please with us.
They can’t fix our complaints but they can sure make us worse. Kill your inheritance and you have no background to fall back on when they bring about the monetary collapse. They want you dead till there is only enough of us left to satisfy their greed while we will have nothing but slavery to look forward to. They will put us into camps sterilise us and use the best breeding stock to satisfy their needs.
Doctors must be more responsible in diagnosing and treating patients with utmost care and interest NOT bowing to the pharma companies hell bent on filling their bottom lines. Doctors should not only look to fill their pockets but look for the cause of the ailment then treat the cause that willl automatically cure the ailment too.
Al Capone and the Cray Twins would be proud of Big Pharma, a legal way to make fortunes.
