Recently, new guidelines for cholesterol levels and management were issued that have pharmaceutical giants cheering, but health care providers and advocates crying foul.
The new guidelines, released in November of 2013, drastically reduce the numbers for cholesterol levels of what is considered healthy. The result is seen as placing literally half the world’s population at risk of serious drug-related side effects if the recommendations are acted upon.
The new recommended guidelines for cholesterol levels that were released in November of 2013 have many people deeply concerned.
The summary is that the American Heart Association and the College of Cardiology, at the request of the Federal Government, looked at the current state of heart health to recommend “realistic” guidelines for mitigating heart attack and stroke as a result of unhealthy cholesterol levels.
The end result was to not only double the number of people who were recommended to take statin drugs, but to include literally every single male over the age of 60 in the guidelines of people who should be taking them.
Several major university and hospital researchers, however, are crying foul over what they see as an attempt to channelize half the population into pharmaceuticals, knowing that they cause extreme and dangerous side effects.
Many of these institutions have launched their own analyses of the recommendations, since there is a general consensus that the “data” that led to the new recommendations is flawed and based very little at all on any scientific evidence.
In fact, there is, and continues to be, mounting evidence to suggest that not only are statins not remotely as effective at preventing heart attack as the drug makers claim, but they are also implicated in the development of fatal diseases including cancer.
Some researchers say the risk is worth it, although their voices are becoming more and more drowned out by other researchers who offer real data and studies to directly dispute the recommendations’ new guidelines.

only a very few people need statins
Statins damage your liver. They triggered Hepatitis C for me.
Homocystine is what we should watch apparently, not cholesterol. Cholesterol does not cause heart attacks anyway. I avoid them like the plague. Take fluid garlic, Alicin, that will sort out many problems for you. Dil
Found out that statins also raise A1C readings (diabetes ) I lowered mine by using Herbalife protein shakes, soy isolate, taste great. Every one I know that have used it have lowered their Chloresterol readings to the "low" region. Found out that FDA has even gone on record to this fact. Also allowed me to lose weight, which was a bonus
This will be another attack on the patients by the Pharrm Industry to capitalize and rake in more BILLIONS of dollars as if they are not RICH enough. On my own side, I will stick to my old plan with some exercises (barely do) Organic ACV and Organic Coconut Oil. Both prevent DM and cholesterol. THANKS!!!! but I will be just find without STATINS. NSAIDS, GMO's AND THE LIKE!!! INCLUDING HIGHLY REFINED PRODUCTS AND HIGHLY REFINED FOODS!!!! I (COOK FROM SCRACTH!!!) FOR BETTER HEALTH.
TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND INSANE!!! CHOLESTEROL DOES NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE!!! Your body NEEDS cholesterol to function properly. And the Statin drugs were the first known cancer-causing drugs that the FDA approved!!! Don't let Big Pharma and doctors push you into taking cholesterol-lowering drugs!!! The people with the lowest levels of cholesterol are those with AIDS/HIV, and they are UNHEALTHY! My cholesterol level is the lowest it has been decades w/o medications, but I am unhealthy with leukemia!!!
You wrote about new guidlines for cholesterol, but you didn’t mention them. How can someone increase the good chosleterol value?
