I think all physicians should take 80 mg a day of lipitor for 2 yrs. They want to give out statins and antidepressants like candy.\r\n

\r\n \r\n That comes as a complete shock to me. The fact that one physician was not financially connected to a pharma.
\n
\nI wonder how they managed to over look that person. They are usually much more careful about the research results they purchase.

Default Most folks don't know this (cholesterol)

Concerning the panel of 9 physicians with the National cholesterol education program (NCEP) that made the recommendations to lower the cholesterol guidelines to below 200:

8 of the 9 physicians received financial compensation from the drug companies, or had a financial relationship with the drug companies.

Comments anyone?
