Thanks for posting this GG. So much the same as Statins then! Big Pharma are at it again and thought they had got away with it.

Oh, as far as blood pressure is concerned, I think they were at it long before Statins came on the scene.

Interesting! Unfortunately for my mum her high BP created a big stroke that affected the part of her brain that deals with memory and subsequently a mix of Alzheimer's joined in too.

Not a fan of statins at all - medication in general - but that was something unexpected.

Not going near statins myself. 😊
