\"ThisYou have high cholesterol. So your doctor wants to put you on one of the most common drugs to lower cholesterol.<\/p>\n

Now how about if that drug to lower cholesterol almost guaranteed you\u2019d develop an even more dangerous disease, like type 2 diabetes?<\/p>\n

This is a fact that the medical system is well aware of but doesn\u2019t want you to know about.<\/p>\n

But this has now been proven and brought out to the public eye in a new mega study published in the journal Diabetologia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Yes, taking the class of drugs known as Statins increases your risk of type 2 Diabetes by 46%.<\/p>\n

In this 6-year study (ranging from 2005 to 2010), about 9,000 males without type 2 Diabetes were recruited. Of those, 625 ended up developing type-2 diabetes over the course of the study. <\/p>\n

The researchers took into account all risk factors \u2013 alcohol consumption, smoking, body mass index, activity level and many others. Even after making the adjustments, there was still one factor that seemed to be the culprit \u2013 and that was statins.<\/p>\n

Statins causes Type 2 diabetes through one or both of these factors: <\/p>\n

\u2022\tStatins led to a 24% reduction in insulin sensitivity
\n\u2022\tStatins caused a 12% reduction in insulin secretion<\/p>\n

Two other cholesterol drugs were found equally dangerous:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tHigh dose simvastatin caused a 44% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes while low
\nDose\ttherapy\tincreased\tthe\trisk\tby\t22%.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tHigh dose atorvastatin caused a 37% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

Now what is the use of taking drugs to prevent one disease when it leads to another one that\u2019s just as dangerous? Plus if you develop type 2 diabetes, you\u2019re almost guaranteed to also have high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases.<\/p>\n

The irony is that both plaque buildup in the arteries and type 2 diabetes can be easily managed with simple lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n

Here is a simple step-by-step plan to manage blood cholesterol and clear out blocked heart arteries\u2026 without dangerous statin drugs\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
