Statin drugs increase risk of diabetes

"...intensive-dose statin therapy was associated with an increased risk of new-onset diabetes compared with moderate-dose statin therapy."



This is useful information and it is particularly onerous because its being reported in JAMA - the Journal of the American Medical Association. It takes solid evidence for that publisher to offer information that speaks poorly of a drug.



Statins will lower your cholesterol. They will not make you healthy. They might kill you, though, regardless of whether you are involved in intensive or moderate doses. The only safe statin is the one not taken by a human.
