Statins Directly Cause Type 2 Diabetes in 50% of Users

The American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced in 2014 that 26% of adults use statins.

According to a new study from the University of Queensland published in the journal Drugs and Aging, almost half of those statin users will develop type 2 diabetes as direct results of taking these drugs.

So if you have high cholesterol, your choice seems to be to die from heart attack or stroke or develop type 2 diabetes.

Researchers observed 8,372 participants aged 76 to 82 for 10 years.

They identified those who were prescribed statins during this ten-year period, and then checked how many of these were prescribed insulin or other glucose-lowering agents.

Alarmingly, compared with those who did not take any statins, those on low statin doses were 17% more likely to develop diabetes.

The higher the statin dose, the higher the risk – those on the highest doses were more than 50% as likely to develop diabetes.

Doctors were found to start patients on low doses and moved them to high doses over time.

This is not the first time medical scientists have issued this warning. The Queensland study was on women, but men are equally at risk; evidenced by a Finnish research on middle age men, published in the journal Diabetologia.

The growing body of evidence worldwide suggests statins are not a magic bullet for cholesterol. They are dangerous drugs that exacerbates an already epidemic-level diabetes problem.

The good news is, you can level your cholesterol in 30 days, almost effortlessly, by cutting out just one “hidden” ingredient… and it’s not fat, LDL cholesterol or other fad… learn the details here…
