Cholesterol Drugs Recommended for Some 8-Year-Olds
Pediatrics academy urges cholesterol drugs for some 8-year-olds to fight heart disease
By LINDSEY TANNER
The Associated Press
CHICAGO



For the first time, an influential doctors group is recommending that some children as young as 8 be given cholesterol-fighting drugs to ward off future heart problems.

It is the strongest guidance ever given on the issue by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which released its new guidelines Monday. The academy also recommends low-fat milk for 1-year-olds and wider cholesterol testing.

This is so wrong.

Those drugs are dangerous even for adults, and cause sudden heart attacks.

There has never been any proof that cholesterol causes heart disease, it's a big scam by the pharmaceutical companies.

If they had any guts they'd go after the childrens cereal manufacturer's..

watch the binders

i have a feeling the stuff they use to make up the pills is more important to the agenda than the actual active ingredient.

for example
risperdal, and antipsychotic works on dopamine and serotonic receptors (which is unhealthy and doesn't fix the issue)

but in the dissolving tabs, they use aspartame in them as well.

cholesterol is a phantom menace in the first place. in the second place, the drugs are dangerous. lastly, we need to get everyone on our prescription drugs. easier to control that way.

This is a MUST read for every person on this planet:

The Great Cholesterol Con
by Anthony Colpo

Tears down the scam piece by piece, player by player, effort by effort and includes about 62 pages of scientific references in the bibliography.

It's not the first book written on this subject, but I believe it is the most comprehensive. Put it on your summer reading list.

Spot on consumer reviews can be read here:

Heaven forbid the 8-yr-olds eat a healthy diet.....

This is just another example of big pharma looking for another audience to sell their drugs to. Shame on them.

I'd rather give my kid a Lucky Strike instead of a statin.

Any parent that would give their 8 year old cholesterol drugs, is beyond hopeless and will forever be a slave.

Exactly. Who's at juvenile risk for heart disease and diabetes? Fat kids. Cholesterol medication won't help that.
